THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS GUYS! keep 'em Coming

It was closed to sunset where everything was almost perfect and at peace. Everyone was ready to sit back and relax and have a quiet evening.

Lovers would be at the nearby river or at the beach holding hands just taking it to themselves on how the sky was so red orange with a tinge of yellow. As the birds flew by so as two people who are sweetly in tacked with each other. Sharing the sweetness of the peaceful neighbourhood near by the river

Any lovers who'll walk pass them will surely envy how close this two are. Showing off their public display of affection will surely beat anyone whose anyone with a love life.. or so the people think as they saw those two..

"Oi yah old man get yer mitts off me!" the lady on a lad's shoulder shouted as she tried her best to scram away from the grasp

" Talk all you want but i won't let you go lady " the man said as he fixed his dead fish eyes on the road not even flinching in every escape plan from the woman

" What the hell'as yer prob?! " She spat as she looks at the face of the man that carries her like a sack of rice

the man did not gave her a single glance

" basically it's you " Tsukuyo only eyed him. She was seriously getting pissed. Only a tinge of another crap from this man, she'll really kill him on the spot

" WHERE THE HELL ARE YE TAKING ME?!" she exploded

" to your rightful place weeks ago" He said with monotone

" What!?"

" The police, can you be so shal-OWH MATTE! Owhhhhh!" Tsukuyo bit off his left ear resulting for Gintoki to let her go

" The heck is your problem?! " Gintoki spat while rubbing his bitten ear

" look old man, If yah need money i could give it ta yah but i can't give it in one give " She said as she put both of her hands on her hips

" So what do you propose? "

Tsuykuyo was surprise to see that the man in front of her gave her the attention she did not expect

" Oh yah know.. I could give yah my card and we could settle this on another day, see I got many things on my sleeve right now" She scratched her head trying to blurt out lies that may convince Gintoki

" I'm not buying it " Gintoki said as he picked his nose and toss the foreign object immediately living a disgusted Tsukuyo

There was a moment of silence between the two

"..."

*GROWWWLL*

a foreign sound breaks the ice between the two as Gintoki felt a little bit hungry.

" I say for your first payment, you should buy me food " He grabs hold of Tsukuyo's hands and scans the place for any food stall. It was getting dark as the sun sets.

Gintoki was dragging Tsukuyo, on the other hand Tsukuyo was trying to resist his grasp

" let go off me! Icould walk yah know! " She said as she struggles on pulling back her arms

"Fine" He loosened his grasp towards her. Some red marks were seen on her arm as Tsukuyo scans it.

" But just to be sure " He took out a piece of steel inside his pocket and locked it with his and her hand. Tsukuyo was left astonished as she sees the object connecting her to him

" Oi why do you have handcuffs?! Are you a police or sometin ?! " Tsukuyo started to sweat. She scans the man in front of her ' he doesn't look like one.. looks more like criminal to me rather than a police but ... shit!' She got absorb with her thoughts that she not notice Gintoki looking at her

" What!? " She blurted when she noticed

Gintoki only gave her a smirk then turns around to find a place to eat, living Tsukuyo dumbfounded

" Tadaima! " Seita uttered while closing the door to their house.

" Okaeri " Hinowa said even though the voice sounded that it was a far

Knowing where his mother was he went straight to the kitchen. He wasn't wrong, he sees his mother on a wheelchair making some dinner. As he strolls towards his mother he smelled something spicy

" Okaa-san what are you making? " Seita came close to his mother, seeing some spices at the counter

" Oh , hi dear. I', making curry for dinner " Hinowa said with her ever warming smile.

" hmm.. so that's why it smelled delish! "

Hinowa noticed that there was another person missing.

" uhmm.. Where's Tsukuyo dear? " Hinowa asked as she was pouring the curry to a bowl at the counter.

"Oh Yeah!" Seita declared happily while he claps his hand

Hinowa was astonished on how Seita reacted to question. She started to stroll her way to Seita. She pats his head

" Anything good happened? " Hinowa asked as she looks into the eyes of her eight year old son

Seita nods

" What is it? "

" Nee-san, Earlier i met her boyfriend! " He said excitedly. Hearing this Hinowa was shocked and intrigued. Never did she expects that Tsukuyo , who swears that she threw her womanhood away would ever consider a man after all she have been through

" Oh really? How did you meet him dear? "

" It was amaaaazing! He saved me earlier "

" what do you mean?" Hinowa's curiosity turned into a face full of worries which Seita did not unseen

He starts to scratch his " You see, earlier at school there was a rumour that a new sweet shop opened down town so when uhmm.. Nee-san picked me up I drag her towards the store but because of too much excitement i crossed the street without .. " He looks up to his mother, he felt a very dark aura coming out of her .. ' oh gash' ... he continued " Without looking at the traffic sign.. But! He saved me in time! Nee-san's boyfriend so It was okay Okaa-san.. " he bowed his head. He felt that because of him his mother and auntie would be really hurt if it weren't for his carelessness. He knew he was in trouble and expected this but much to his surprise Hinowa grabs hold of him and hugged him tight

" Good thing you're okay " She pats her son's head. Seita was on the brink of crying when Hinowa pulled her and looks into his eyes

" So Nee-san is with her boyfriend right now? "

Seita nods and snorted the snot that was already coming out of his nose

" hahaha.. tell all the details okay? " Hinowa puts down Seita on the floor as the two started to prepare for dinner

They were in the middle of an old district inside the city. There was much less people walking by. It took them about thirty minutes of quarrel and dragging before both of them got safely at an Old dango place. It was already pass seven. Both of them waited for their Dango orders as they sat at an old wooden stool outside of the store. Gintoki scans the place. It wasn't much different from the last time he has been here. The Konpeitou Dango Shop. Some Christmas ornaments where still put up but the old and relaxing ambiance of the place stayed. Adding up an old man and his cross dressing megane waiter with red lipstick , that holds a great history of stories to talk about. This place really is a place for Gintoki.

Gintoki looks at the streets. There were a couple of abandoned and some new establishment across the Dango shop. One that caught his eye was a shop on the further right which the sign says "Andromeda ". He concludes that there will be a new cake shop across and with the new cake shop comes new cute waitresses. He was starting to fantasize some girl in cute maid costumes.

" You're Disgusting " Gintoki was pulled out of his lalaland when he looks towards his side, seeing a blonde woman sitting next to him while eyeing her watch

" Stop imagining lewd thing yah old perv " She said as she stared back at him

"Oi ain't old! And I ain't imagining things! I'm only hungry! HUNGRY! " Gintoki lied through his Embarrassment. He started to tint a tinge of tomato when Tsukuyo read his mid

" Yeah right " Gintoki was shocked when Tsukuyo pulled something in her right arm inside her jacket pocket. She pulled out a cigarette and lit it up

" What? " She looks back at him when she caught him staring

" Nothing " He averted his stare towards the moon.

" Does your parents know you smoke? " He questioned sternly

Tsukuyo was taken back but answered " Don't need tah"

" You're gonna burn your lungs out " he said still looking at the beauty of the full moon as he tilted his heads up to the sky

" I'm planning to "

" You're gonna die "

" That's good "

" You're really stubborn arent you " Gintoki was starting to get pissed

" doesn't concern you"

" oi if you die who's gonna pay me huh?! " He looks towards his companion

" That's better for my side old man " She looks at him

" how many times do i have to tell you I'm not that ancient! "

" you are to me yah perv "

He was gonna say something again when the owner of the shop brought them their dangos

An old man came out from the shop wearing matching green shirt and pants and was carrying the ordered dangos

" Wohohoo.. never did I expect danna would be tied down by a lady " The man stated as he was standing in front of the two idiots. They were dumbfounded by his statement

" Huh?" Both asked

The man only pointed at the handcuffs that were binds them

" Oi old man you got the wrong idea here! " Both blushed in embarrassment

" Hahaha! don't worry danna , this lady right here is really a catch " the man eyes Tsukuyo, He was fascinated on how pretty she was despite the scar that crosses her eyes

" I ain't this lady's old man , She has a debt to pay so i tied her like this " Gintoki tried to reason but he notice the man was still eyeing Tsukuyo

" Oi you even listening to me?! "

" look at that fine body.. " the man started to whisper to himself as he nods in agreement

" The fuck you just said?! " Tsukuyo started to get pissed at the guy

" Oi you jiji listen to me! " Gintoki tried to talk sense to him but he only handed Tsukuyo the Dangos

Gintoki Tried to stand up but he forgot that he was tied with Tsukuyo so she pulled him back

" Would you shut up?! " She exclaimed " Both of yah are pervs! "

"Oi i ain't a perv! "

" Oh don't worry danna i wouldn't take your wife away from you , you see I already got my eyes on my fine waitress over there " He started to point inside of the Shop

Showing a somewhat man dress as a lady with eye glasses and red lipstick. Both Tsukuyo and Gintoki was on the verge of hurling

" that ain't a waitress that's a waiter "

" How can you say that Danna , Look at that ass " Both of them looked at the waiter-ress inside the dango shop, he/she was starting to fidget in embarrassment.

' yuck... ' Both Tsukuyo at Gintoki thought

Tsukuyo noticed that the two men was so absorb of their battling conversation about the lady-man inside that she figured that she can take this chance to escape.

She looks at the Dango that she laid on the chair earlier and smirk ' this is it! '

She grabs something inside of her pocket as she threw her cigarette at the cold cement and crushed it with her shoes. She pulled a small bottle with powdered pigments inside. She looks towards the two men still continuing their conversation. With her free hand she opened the bottle. She took out the cork and poured some of the powder in Gintoki's Dango. ' This time, this sleeping powder will work ' .

It took up a couple of minutes and down right hard statements towards the waitress when both decided to end the conversation. Gintoki sighed as he laid back again in his seat. His stomach growled again, signalling his hunger. He looks to his side and saw the Dangos

" Hey you want some" He handed a stick to Tsukuyo which caused her to startle

" No , it's my payment right. It's all yers "

".."

" by the way where did yah get the handcuffs? " She asked feeling a little nervous but she facade it with her deadpan expression

" Hahahaa, stop worrying I ain't no tax robber, I'm a teacher " Gintoki said as he took the first bite

" Then, What kind of teacher carries a handcuff?! "

" It's a secret " He turned towards her and winks. Causing Tsukuyo to blush. She tried to suppress her embarrassment with closing her eyes and breathing deeply ' bastard' she thought

Gintoki only took another second bite, not noticing how he affected her with his teasing manner

It was already quarter to nine when Gintoki finished his Dangos. It was a little bit slow considering he ordered more dangos and more dangos means that the sleeping powder did not work . Tsukuyo was starting to get irritated ' The hell's wrong with this guy!? isn't it working ?! ' Her head were starting to ache as none of her plans works. That was when Gintoki asked for a glass of water and she thought ' to hell if he dies of overdose or not! ' As Gintoki was looking away she poured the remaining powder inside the glass.

Gintoki was starting to worry on why this woman started to get quite ' Maybe she's hungry but too shy to say ' he concludes before munching down his last dango

He did not bother asking her again if she wants some food, it's her fault anyway that he could not even afford a couple of Dangos

He grabs hold of the glass and was about to drink it when He sees Tsukuyo in his peripheral view eyeing him.

" what? " He asked , almost drinking the glass contaminated with sleeping powder

" Huh?! Nothing " Tsukuyo averted her gaze. Not showing how nervous she was if this time it'll take effect. She is known for being cold and good at hiding her emotions, she could not let him know.

It was the last zip when Gintoki felt a little dizzy and sleepy. His senses were starting to loosen. He felt his body relaxed. " what- what's happening? " He said a little sleepy.

" It works! " He averted his drowsy eyes towards Tsukuyo and seeing her smirk

" Oi what did yo- " that was the last sight and phrase he said before he fell back to sleep in a sitting position. Head is bowed towards the floor while he snores his way to lalaland

Tsukuyo then pulled a hair pin in her hair which almost loosens her pony tail. It was her escape route and it was not the first time she was handcuff. She have been to tougher situations before and not even a teacher could tie her down. She carefully pins the lock and when it clicked she took of the handcuffs from her hands. She examines the red marks that remains on her hand she then rubs it and ran as far away as possible from the silver haired man sleeping.

It was morning. The sun was shining as bright as ever as its rays reflected on a glass window on a language teachers bedroom.

The birds were chirping and the wind blew mindlessly. It was a great day indeed but not for everyone of course.

A man who was left sleeping in the streets of an old district caught a cold and was laid back in bed. He missed the second day of school. No school means no pay and all was because he let his guard down

" Darn it! " he exclaimed.

Gintoki could not move as he read his Wednesday issue of shounen jump in bed. It was a little dark in his room but he liked it that way. On the side of his bed was his thermometer showing 39.5 degrees of heat. He walked his way home when the old man tried to woke him up and told him that the lady that he was with left him when he fell back to sleep. When he got home, Kagura was about to leave the house for school when she sees his uncle entering the house

" Gin-chan! Where've you been?! I've been worried sick ! " Kagura was about to nag about her night and morning to his uncle, nagging him about eating egg on rice and sadaharu pooping everywhere when Gintoki collapsed. Thanks to her Yato strength she carried him to his bedroom on the second floor. She got his temperature and readied a cold compress for him before she left for school.

" I'm gonna go now Gin-chan , the sadist challenge me yesterday about some contest today so I really have to go "

Gintoki only waved his hand, signalling her to go

" get well Gin-chan! "

And that was when he was left alone in his dying bed.

" Darn it, my back hurts.. " He was about to get up when Sadaharu entered the room

" Arf! " He said as he started to moves towards Gin

"Oi.. what the hell.. Sadaharu! "

Sadaharu jump off towards Gintoki. He licks of Gintoki's face and bit it

" Owhh.. owhh owwwwwhhh! "

It was already noon when Gintoki decided to buy some strawberry milk in the nearby market. He was sick and even missed Ketsuno Ana's forecast for the day.

That woman was really a misfortune to him.

As he walk his way inside the store with his blue shirt and jeans he saw the refrigerator that beholds his magical strawberry milk that can put him off out of his misery at the further left. As he wander towards the refrigerator he did not see that he was about to hit someone

" ouch!" The girl exclaimed while all her belongings fell to the ground

" crap , I'm sorry.. I - " As he picked the fallen matters onto the ground Gintoki saw that there was a wheel in front of him ' crap don't tell me..'

As he picked up all the materials and saw eye to eye to person he bump into he quickly bowed to the lady on the wheelchair. She was a beauty even in her thirties though she was disabled

" I'm sorry miss , i didn't see you soo.. "

" Don't worry it's alright. I'ts my fault that i did not hold my breaks, It was clumsy of me sir " She smiled at Gintoki while she pushes her way towards the exit carrying some bags that was more for her to carry. Gintoki only looked at her until she got out of the store. He then proceeded towards the dairy section to buy his milk

It was already noon when she Woke up. Dress in her PJ she walks down the stairs. Even in the morning she already tidied herself up. It was a must in her work at she'll always should look presentable. She was a beauty even without makeup. Making her way to the kitchen to see if her sister was anywhere inside the house.

" Hinowa? " She called out of thin ear

She went to the living room but still no sign of her delightful sister anywhere.

She has no work today , her boss hasn't called her since Saturday. No work means no money, Adding up a total pervert to her debt list she started to think.

" where could i get the money that I owed that idiot ? "

As she lean on their couch , she saw a sticky note attached to the coffee table in front of her. Seeing that Hinowa was the only one doing this type of stuff she grabs a hold of it.

" out to buy groceries , be back in a jippy "

"Darn it. Why did she left me?! She couldn't carry all those stuff by herself!" She felt angry, it was her fault that Hinowa let her sleep in.

It was already midnight when she got home. Hinowa stayed awake waiting for her. Seeing that Tsukuyo was really tired she did not asked what happened but she gave Tsukuyo a very gentle smile which shocked her last night.

" I should go after her " She got up and went up stairs to get dress

I've made this chapter somewhat long for the days i did not update

Hope ya'll enjoy.

SPOILER for the next Chapter :

" Oi what the hell are yeh doing here?! " Tsukuyo blurted as she saw the same guy she was avoiding to see for the past few days

" What? It's you that I Should be asking! ... Wait a minute You're my Student? " Gintoki exclaimed in front of the Principals office as the two stood there eyeing Each other

" Well this will be easier for me " Gintoki Smirk while Tsukuyo sweat drops
