DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GINTAMA.
Date Uploaded: May 25, 2016- Wednesday.
Note: Advanced apologies for the OOC's! It's likely to happen!
I hope you paid heed to my warning in the last chapter. And man I keep forgetting Kyuubei only has one eye!
So anyway, this is the last chapter for the arc. I'll still think of a new one while I'm busy. And when I'm no longer busy, I'm gonna start typing again, alright? Now stay tuned and for now, just enjoy the rest of the fics *smiles*.
FireDusk: I know. Which is why I needed to move this with the other Rated M's. But again, thanks for reviewing! This is the last chap for the arc, I needed to update fast or I'll leave a cliffy again. *nods* Yep, I'll be busy again so while I'm here, time for an update!
LET'S TURN KYU-CHAN INTO A WOMAN!
Previously: The situation got more complex when Sogou, Kondo and Sarutobi came to show Gintoki who is worthy of service (for the sake of getting paid. Kondo tricked by Pachi boy using Otae, Sogou will be paid by Kagura and Sarutobi just came to show her Gintoki she's a woman). But as they try to show Kyuubei how to be a real woman, it just ended up that the four contradicts each other and fights.
When everyone left, Kyuubei was left more confuse than ever. Gintoki knew he needed to do something before it gets any worse. But while talking to her, slowly, he got caught up with his urges. Until..
-"I- I get it. Can you please stop?"
"How can I stop? When I feel like repeating that night's events." he said as he pushed his body closer to crushing hers.
"S- So you DO remember?"
"Of course. How can I forget that awesome night?" this time, he inserted his hand under her kimono, groping a part of her that got her face really red as she stared at him right now. She closed her eyes, ashamed, her hands trembling as she held on his sleeves. "It feels good doesn't it? Ah, that night you had the same feeling but you don't remember. That's why I'm making you remember now. Just let me do this, alright?"
He captured her mouth with his while his hand teased and probed on her sensitive part, making her scream at the sudden fingering.
She pushes him away and he licked his fingers.
"Aren't you enjoying this?" he asked.
"You're n-" Kyuubei hugged herself, still feeling a bit hot and kept her distance.
"Does it matter?" Gintoki cuts her off.
"Actually it matters. Because that's my Kyuubei." said a voice that came from outside.
V- Stop talking about being a woman and talk about being a real man! -V
"Ah, I see you've awakened." says Gintoki to the new arrival.
"Gintoki.. I'm sorry.." the girl lowered her head towards the new arrival but the new arrival approaches her and lifts her head up.
"You shouldn't be apologizing to someone who's responsible for all of this." he says. "A real man wouldn't put a burden on a woman, nor would he try to use a woman for easy money. And that's most certainly the reason why I got you into this mess."
"But-"
"Don't worry about it, Young Master. Nothing happened between us." he said and smiled. "It's just this guy, who set us up."
They turned to Gintoki and he was just standing there, listening to them talk while picking his nose.
"I don't understand, Gintoki.. why does he.. look like you?" Kyuubei asked and turned to the new arrival, which is also Gintoki.
"That's the effect of using this." the real Gintoki pulled out a herb inside a ziploc. "When someone drinks water while mixed with this herb, their senses would be dull and most probably affected greatly by the herb. It works the same way when someone crushes this herb and rubs it on his whole body. Most probably anyone who made contact with this man had inhaled the scent of the herb, thus dulling their senses."
"But why do we see him as you?"
"Isn't it obvious? He wants you." the real Gintoki says and threw the ziploc in front of the fake Gintoki who was picking his nose. "Isn't that right, Yoshida Sanzo?"
(Yeah, I made him up again, he's not a Gintama character. I needed a bad guy here.)
The fake Gintoki, Yoshida Sanzo, started to laugh and slowly, Kyuubei was finally able to see who he really is. She gasped when she recognized his face and name.
"No way!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah that's right. My family is known to be very good with handling dangerous herbs such as this one." Sanzo said and eyed the ziploc. "When I heard that the Yagyuu Clan was looking for someone to lead their clan because unfortunately for them, they are cursed to have a daughter instead of a son." he said and laughed. "And even tried to turn her into a man! How pathetic is that?!"
Kyuubei couldn't move, he struck a nerve but she just stood there, defeated with the truth. She remembered everything in the past, everything she had to go through because her father needed a son to lead the clan.
But Gintoki felt rage rush through him.
"My family took action to be noticed of course. And when the Yagyuu paid us a visit, they were asking for my parents if setting up a marriage between children is alright. For the sake of leading their clan of course. I told my father to pretend to reject because of said rumors about their daughter being un-womanly. They gave the Yagyuu three months to figure out what to do. And that three months was all I need to play with her!"
He laughed maniacally after telling them the truth.
Gintoki turned to Kyuubei, seeing how hurt and affected she was by the truth. It's true that her father and grandfather wanted to turn her into a man, but it doesn't mean they don't care for her. She was just looking down, defeated as she listened to Sanzo rant about his plan.
Kyuubei..
"And the perfect scheme of all would never have happened if it wasn't for you, Sakata Gintoki." he said and Gintoki felt something cold hit his chest. "That night you two spent together, drinking. I could never have thought for a better entrance but to use that night to pretend to be you and play with my 'wife'. Everyone I came across with immediately succumbed to the effects of the herb, not noticing I was a different person at all!"
FLASHBACK:
After the night Sanzo went home at Odd Jobs as Gintoki, upon entering Snack Otose, the strong scent of the herb quickly affected the senses of Otose and Catherine. (Tama wasn't there and will be explained soon). Then he went upstairs with Kagura and she also inhaled the scent (Sadaharu also isn't there).
It didn't take long that Shinpachi himself was affected by it.
("Gin-san? Hey Gin-san!" Shinpachi called out for the fifth time. Gintoki was finally able to return to reality. "Hey, are you alright? This is the third time you allowed Kagura to eat your meal."
When Kagura, who was eating, realized that Shinpachi was telling Gintoki about his food, she immediately swallowed the food in her mouth and finished all the rice in the bowl. She hits her chest, almost choking, and Shinpachi rolled his eyes at her.
"Too late Gin-san! I already ingested it!" Kagura said, giggling.
But Gintoki didn't yell at her nor did he hit her. Kagura was ready to defend her head but he just stared blankly into space, going back to another world again. The two exchanged looks and sat beside him.
"Gin-san, if you're not feeling well, just say so. We'll take you to Gengai-san." Kagura offered.
"I'll ask for everyone to give us contributions for the hospital expenses if we have to." Shinpachi said, trying to be sympathetic but Gintoki had enough of them and smacks both the back of their heads.
"At last! Gin-san has returned!" Kagura said and hugs him.
"I'm going to die soon." he muttered.
"What are you talking about? Are you sick? Just tell us already.")
They were already infected by then.
Everything they see about Gintoki smacking them and talking with them, it is purely based on memories with Gintoki. Sanzo wasn't doing anything. Every time an imaginary Gintoki smacks them, their senses and brain impulses would make them think that they were smacked and reacting to it in exxchange.
(He tried to laugh out the distress but then he bumps into a blonde woman, forcing her to drop her pipe.
"Tsukuyo?" he wondered but the woman turns around and removes her wig.
"It's Sa-chan!" she yelled and puffed her lips to give him a kiss. "I knew you would fall for it! I knew you'd find me!" she threw her arms at him, wanting to hug him and squeeze him tightly and never to let go.)
In contact with Sarutobi, after bumping into her, her senses were quickly affected and she ended up stalking him. The imaginations works in a much powerful way than for anyone else.
("Gintoki-sama?" says the voice behind him.
"Huh?" he turned around to see two Hyakka members holding grocery bags with them.)
When making contact with the Hyakka. The reason they approached him was that because they still see him as Yoshida Sanzo and was supposed to apprehend him but after getting near him and getting infected by the herb's effects, their senses were immediately dulled and they ended up leading Yoshida to where Kyuubei was hiding.
("Oh you guys are here. Go ahead and drop the bags. I need you to buy something else." she said and Gintoki felt nervous.
He drops the bags and walks away. Tsukuyo exits the room, looking for the girls who dropped the bags, not knowing it was Gintoki who was hiding nearby. The last person he wants to see right now is her. But he underestimated her too much.
"GINTOKI!" she yelled and threw a set of kunai at him. He dodged them but as usual, one kunai lands on his head.
"Ow ow ow!" he cried and another set was thrown towards him but he backs away. "I won't tell anyone what I saw, I promise!")
Yoshida's contact with Tsukuyo was what made him nervous. When Tsukuyo exited the room to search for the trespasser, she failed to do so when she inhaled the scent of the herbs that was bby the door where Yoshida once stood, resulting to her thinking he was Gintoki just as everyone else is.
("I- I never meant to do anything like that." he said nervously.
"I do think that you did a good job there, boss. You just forgot to tie loose ends that's why you're having problems." said a voice that surely doesn't belong to Tsukuyo. Gintoki and Tsukuyo turned to the trespasser who was sitting by the entrance door. "That's why you need to tie that loose end by showing her how nice it is to be a woman.")
Sogou's case though, he's not infected. And so is Kondo.
END
(Why post GIntoki's thoughts? Why does everyone see him as Gintoki when there are a lot of people they could see? It's Gintama so anything odd is possible. *smiles*)
"So how do you do it?" Gintoki asks.
"You really know nothing, do you? The Yoshida Clan is known to have the ability, the only people, who can make use of these herbs!" Yoshida exclaimed.
"Oh. Well be thankful to everyone I'm a very odd person because I work at Odd Jobs and anything you do, they will not doubt it. But you missed one part of it that messed up your plan." Gintoki grabbed his sword and points it at him.
"What?"
"Gintoki is not a good kisser!" Kyuubei yelled as she appeared behind him, a wooden sword in her hand.
'Impossible! Since when did she get there!' Yoshida thought in shock.
With Kyuubei's speed, he wasn't able to dodge or defend himself. He was struck by the sword and his head bled and stumbled on the ground. Gintoki chuckled and walked towards him, a hand scratching his head.
"I guess you missed that part out." Gintoki told Yoshida. "Also, if you haven't heard this rumor, Yagyuu Kyuubei is a known master swordsman because of her lightning speed in battle. She can match even me. Although of course I'm better."
"I- I never heard of such thing!" Yoshida yelled in anger.
"That's because everyone thought it was a man. Not knowing behind that rumor about a powerful swordsman is actually just a simple girl with genuine feelings for someone."
I've had enough of this payment and prize money.. it's driving me nuts! It's time that I stand up to be the character I am made for.
"T- This is outrageous!" Yoshida turned to Kyuubei, one hand holding his bleeding head. He couldn't believe it. He's heard lots of rumors but not this?! "Then why didn't you..?! You didn't defend yourself from me!"
"Because I thought that maybe the likes of you can help me with my problem.."
Of all the lessons, don't tell me you've absorbed that ninja's lesson the most!
"Tsk! Playing the heroine's role I see! Well guess what, you'll never! Never! NEVER! Going to be a man! Neither will you be a woman! You don't belong to this world!" Yoshida shouts at her, Gintoki waited to see what Kyuubei will do.
"You can say I'm neither a man or a woman, but you can't say I don't belong here. Because I am the successor of the Yagyuu Clan, who serves under the Bakufu and the Shogunate for years! To begin my first mission, I will offer your head to them.." she said sternly and was positioning herself slash his head, this time, using a real sword. "..and show you and your family, what Yagyuu Kyuubei is capable of!"
"W- Wait!"
"Kyuubei, hold it!" Gintoki yells.
SLASH!
V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V
Yoshida Sanzo is arrested while his family is under house arrest. They are forbidden to use their herbs unless permitted by the Bakufu. Sogou and Kondo were actually sent by the real Gintoki to keep an eye on Kyuubei since Gintoki knew that Tsukuyo and the others are already affected by the scent.
Sanzo was surprised to see a cop (when Sogou first appeared) and his thoughts (or well, Gintoki's thoughts were just there to confuse you, make you believe he really is Gintoki. Although some thoughts are related to Sanzo) spoke his mind that time. Which is why he was cautious, but as time passed by, he believed that he had infected Sogou with the herb's scent, not knowing Gintoki already knew that so he sent Sogou there with a protection from the scent.
"Well boss, everything's over now. No prize money will be given." Sogou informs Gintoki.
"I know that."
"The Yagyuu members apologized for the trouble they've caused and told Kyuubei she's grounded for the meantime."
"I see." Gintoki said and stood up from where he sat. "But she's alright now, right?"
"Who knows? She wouldn't lift her face up as if ashamed or something. Either way, the Yagyuu members said they will fix everything but thanks you and the Shinsengumi for saving her."
"Still no money, huh?"
"They never promised such reward. Toujou just exaggerated it to get people's attention to help. He's now unemployed."
Of course. A lot has happened and things went south for all of us. Even Toujou.
"Well, I'll be going now boss." Sogou said and left.
Gintoki felt alone for a while, not deciding to go home just yet. He felt like there was still something he needed to do. Something he needed to fix. But not for long, the silence he has was over when a loud cheerful voice yelled his name.
"Gin-san!" Kagura yells as she ran towards him. Shinpachi and Otae right behind her. "Gin-san, are you alright? We just got out of the hospital to get rid of the stupid herb that's affecting our brains!"
"Y- Yeah. We're so sorry." Shinpachi said.
"That's none of your fault, guys." Gintoki said, sadly.
"Gin-san, you have no fault in this. Don't blame yourself." Kagura said.
"But it all started there, didn't it?"
"Then how about we stop blaming ourselves and just start cheering Kyuu-chan up!" Otae suggested with a smile on her face. "I'm sure she's waiting for us outside her window or something."
Heh, if only you knew that everything she talks about is you. So to sum it up, she just needs to see your face and she'll start smiling again.
"More like waiting for you." Gintoki said and turned away.
"Gin-san.."
"Alright then. Don't blame us if you missed the fun." Otae said and walks away. "I heard Sarutobi will be there too. I wonder what kind of silly things she taught Kyuu-chan while I was gone!"
T- That stalker!
In a rush to run towards the Yagyuu estate, Gintoki knocked repeatedly. Shinpachi, Kagura and Otae right behind him, smiling.
When the door opens, he finds Toujou and was surprised to see him, because he was... fired? Toujou chuckled at his expression. Behind Toujou is a girl with long black hair tied to a pony. She was wearing a girly kimono just as Tsukuyo had suggested before.
"Gintoki?" Kyuubei said from behind Toujou. But then she glanced behind Gintoki and saw Kagura, Shinpachi and... Otae-chan. "Otae-chan?!" she quickly turns away and hid behind Toujou. "Close the door." she tells Toujou and walks away.
As much as Toujou wanted her to become a woman, he didn't like the new her.
"I'm sorry Gintoki-sama." Toujou apologized and slowly closes the door. But Kagura kicked it wide open, for them to enter.
"Kyuu-chan.. aren't you even gonna greet me? Not tell me about your adventures?" Otae said, slowly walking after the frozen Kyuubei.
"Otae-chan.. I can't.."
"Why not? Did you do lots of fun things without me? You know I don't mind. I seldom forget to invite you with me too. But I never forget to tell you about it because we're friends. The best of friends."
"Otae-chan.." Kyuubei didn't care if the tears shed from her eye and ran back to her Otae-chan, hugging her tightly, "..a lot happened and I don't know where to start!"
"Just let it all out and it'll just come."
Oi oi, she's good.
Otae returned her hug and was very comforting. "You don't mind that I invited the Odd Jobs with me, do you?"
"No. Not at all." Kyuubei said, wiping away her tears. She pulled away from the hug and faced the Odd Jobs with a genuine girly smile. "Welcome to the Yagyuu Estate. My name is Yagyuu Kyuubei, daughter Yagyuu Koshinori, the heir of the Yagyuu Clan. Let's get along okay?"
Y- You have to be kidding me.. she's turned into a woman in just hours!
The End
