Ch. 4: Morning greetings are lame and Operation strategy names are extremely outdated these days

.

.

"Kagura-chan, get up! Breakfast is ready!" Shinpachi walked past her room while sliding her door open, ready to face the biggest obstacle of the morning.

Waking up Gintoki.

The yato girl flipped over and mumbled several curses. "I want to sleep…" She reclosed her door.

When Kagura got home the night before, Shinpachi was running around the house like a lunatic. He wore the most panicked of expressions she ever saw the glasses man do so far. Gin-chan wasn't very far from that. In fact, he didn't look worried at all. But from the twitching of his feet and the sweat from his head, Kagura knew that both of them were frantically looking for her. Sadaharu couldn't help them since the Shinsengumi slipped a couple of sleeping drugs inside him when they kidnapped her.

Shinpachi reopened her door, "Kagura-chan, please get up now. Its past ten you know?"

"Shut up megane, don't you know that sleep helps a lady's skin? The reason why your glasses are so dull now is because you don't sleep enough."

"WHY IS THIS INVOLVING MY GLASSES!? I'M NOT EVEN CONSIDERED AS A HUMAN AREN'T I?! GET UP RIGHT NOW KAGURA-CHAAAN!" Shinpachi paused to hear something from Gintoki's room, "Ah…..oh shit. GIN-SAAAAN! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING! EVEN THOUGH YOU WENT DRINKING LAST NIGHT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU CAN THROW UP ALL OVER SADAHARU!

"SHUT UP MEGANE! DO YOU WANT ME TO THROW UP OVER YOU URGHBLARGSDFGKL!" Gin-chan continued to puke his guts out.

It's a miracle the sleeping pills for Sadaharu were still in effect.

Kagura reopened her sliding door and observed the insanity in front of her. She was too tired to clean up any mess in the morning, so she decided to do this. "We should take a moment to pray for Gin-chan's death." She said.

Kagura and Shinpachi clapped their hands together twice, and prayed.

An hour later, Kagura was fully dressed and has successfully obliterated the food. Gintoki was dying from Sadaharu, and Shinpachi just went out on a vacation with his sister to Planet Beach. The yato girl sighed. I guess I should go now…. She popped a piece of sukonbu into her mouth and quietly grabbed her umbrella. She was surprised when someone reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Oi," Gintoki grunted, seeming to successfully escape from Sadaharu, "Where the hell are you going?"

Shit, I was found out! Kagura covered her surprise with a blank face and pointed her thumb backwards.

"G-Gonna visit Soyo-chan. She wanted me to bring her the new edition of sukonbu uh-huh."

Gintoki stared at his adopted daughter, he knew something was wrong. "It's that isn't it. It's definitely that isn't it…" He looked like his strawberry milk just expired, "Fine, just don't get pregnant with Souichirou-kun until my hair turns straight." He paused, "Eh, Kagura? Why are you looking at me that way? Ah-oh shit, what the hell are you going to do with my bokuto?!"

Kagura's eyes turned red and her body was emitting a dark aura that can definitely be translated as 'kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill. She raised the Bokuto high in the air and then…

"RASENGAN!"

"GYAAAAAAAAAA!"

.

.

.

.

May Gintoki rest in peace…

Kagura threw Gintoki onto the leftovers of their couch, and then proceeded to go to the shinsengumi headquarters.

Stupid Gin-chan, go waste away on pachinko!

The carcasses of the Yorozuya were blown away into the wind.

Shinsengumi Headquarters

"Oi taxrobbers! I'm here like you said!"

Kondo, Hijikata, Okita, and Kamui looked up at her. Kagura averted Kamui's eye.

"Oi, oi, China, what took you so long? Were you taking too long to say goodbye to Danna and the Megane?"

"Shut up Sadist, Megane went out on vacation, and Gin-chan is sleeping on the couch...forever."

"Hah?" Okita looked confused.

"Anyway," Hijikata cleared his throat. "Let's begin the operation strategy."

"Oh, oh, Mayora!" Kagura raised her hand. "Will I get paid if I do this?!"

"Yeah, since the Yato trio are extremely strong, the reward will be a lot."

"Really, then let me join in on this too." A silver head popped up.

"GIN-CHAN!? What are you doing here!? I thought I kil—er no, put you to sleep!"

. . .

Smack

"Oi, ita Gin-chan! What was that for!?" Kagura rubbed her head.

A vein popped on Gintoki's forehead.

"THAT, WAS FOR ALMOST SENDING ME TO BUDDHA! I LITERALLY SAW A LIGHT KAGURA, A LIGHT! AND HE SAID I COULDN'T COME BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY! WHAT THE HELL! AND WE NEED THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES YOU CAUSED AT THE YOROZUYA!"

"So? Gin-chan, either way your still gonna be penniless. But why are you here!"

"Ahem, we were going to invite perm head over here a little while back, but he refused because he was in the middle of thinking he won 50 grand at his damn pachinko." Hijikata interrupted.

"Honestly Oogushii-kun, I was very close."

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING OOGUSHII-KUN YOU DANM PERM HEAD! I'LL KILL YOU TEME!" The Mayo man once again blew a fuse.

"Shut up Hijikata-san and just get on with the operation you poor existence of a person. Oh wait no, even your mayonnaise is considered higher than you, despite that it's dog food." Sougo smirked sadistically.

"KORA TEME SOUGO! DON'T YOU DARE INSULT THE GODLY CREATION OF MAYONNAISE YOU-"

"Toshi calm down, weren't we supposed to be explaining the operation to them?" Kondo looked like he was trying really hard to set the story in the right motion. (A/N: It's becuz of me *sniff sniff* im getting wayyyy 2 side tracked….but Kondo doesn't know that)

Hijikata fumed. He took a deep breath, and went into the boring motion of explaining.

"Since I'm guessing that that perm head is working with us-"

"I'm only doing this for the money, Oogushii-kun, and I will not have my daughter fool around with Souichirou-kun."

"It's Sougo desu."

"Whatever, Sofa-kun." Gintoki could only imagine what would happen, If her father ever finds out if she's poppin out kids while she's still fifteen, I'm going to die a very painful death.

Kamui looked up. So that means the samurai-san rejects that human too? Oh thank god. Samurai-san! I support your decision! Kill any man that dares to violate my little sister! Kamui was practically sending out waves of happiness, which was completely setting Gintoki off.

Oi oi what the hell? This guy has a sister complex!? I'm glad that Kagura isn't interested in men….."

Hijikata was starting to get very annoyed at the atmosphere right now. "Oi you shitheads, as I was saying," everyone's heads turned to him, "The yato trio are doing a stakeout to assassinate another bakufu official named Shigemori Heisuke. They are planning to kill him tomorrow night. Yamazaki has the details on their location." He gestured a hand toward the door, "Yamazaki."

"Yessir," The Shinsengumi jimmy saluted as he walked into the room. "They will be attacking him in hallway B in Shigemori-san's private beach house. They will commence their operation precisely at 9:00 and then move on to his main house to steal the rest of his treasures."

"Good work Yamazaki," the Jimmy saluted once more.

"And so, we are going to attack the trio by splitting up their numbers. Jou-chan and Sougo will attack the youngest one, Ryou. Kamui-san and the Silver perm will take on Kyou. After you have defeated those two, you will move to where the oldest one, Sarutobi the II is, and attack him all at once. Any questions?"

Gintoki lazily raised his hand, "Oi Mayoraaa, even if we take on those two yatos at first, won't Sarutobi the whatever, come to help either one of them?"

Hijikata sighed, "That's the job of me and Kondo-san. We will lure him away from the location you guys are fighting in, away to a secluded area right here." Hijikata pulled out a map and pointed to where a red X marked a part of it.

Gintoki took a look at the map, then the operation strategy. We are definitely forgetting something…oh, I know!

"Oi Oogushii-kun," Gin started.

"MY NAME IS NOT OOGUSHII!" Steam was coming from Hijikata's nostrils.

"Whatever, Ne ne saa, It's that you know, that!" Gintoki said. Hijikata was confused.

"Hah? What the hell do you mean!?" he was irritated that the perm head wouldn't get to the point.

"A name mayora, we need an operation name. I vote for 'Sugar Wanderers.'" Gintoki smirked with pride.

"Oi you bastard, If it's a name then it has to be 'Mayo Soldiers!'" Hijikata didn't care about the names. He just refused to lose to the perm head standing in front of him.

Kagura seemed to have a light bulb blinking over her head.

"Oh oh, if you two good-for-nothings are just going to debate all day, then let's use 'A China Girl's story, One Girl, and the Whole World'"

"That's way too long China." Sougo sighed. "As expected, we should name our operation 'Sadist Overlords.'"

Kagura fumed, "A China Girl's Story."

"Sadist Overlords," Okita retorted.

A vein popped on both of their heads, and they kept arguing, fighting with their fists this time. Gintoki and Hijikata were in another corner of the room, arguing about their ideas with swords, and there was Kamui and Kondo who were quietly sitting next to each other. Kamui was secretly supporting his sister's decision. Kondo was thinking of a name for the operation while eating a banana. He looked down at the Banana and jumped in joy, for a great idea crossed his mind.

"I GOT IT!" Kondo shouted.

Everyone looked up at him.

"We should name this operation the 'Banana Split Formation! Because there are two yatos and two humans right? Even if they are different, they still work out together in good pairs right? Just like a Banana Split!" Kondo was overflowing with pride at his explanation. Everyone turned their heads over to him, and stared.

"Denied."

"WHYYY!?"

Kagura: What's with that kiddy name gorilla? Only you would want a name to have Banana's in it.

Okita: Kondo-san, I have lost all respect for you gorilla.

Hijikata: Kondo-san, I never thought you would go that far…now you're just an ordinary gorilla.

Gintoki: Oi gorilla, you're not on drugs are you? No one would come up with a kiddy name like that.

Kamui: I don't know you gorilla, but that name is stupid.

Despite that they were all speaking through their minds, Kondo could clearly tell what they were thinking by the looks on their faces.

The gorilla was practically crying by now.

Even though Kondo's operation name made perfect sense, everyone was still rooting for their own names. In the end though, Kondo won because they decided to draw lots to decide the name after long arguments. Although, no one knew Kondo cheated by putting several slips of paper with his operation name in the jar.

"Alright guys, you can go back now. Considering that you have this afternoon to tomorrow night to prepare yourselves, I suggest that you do some things that you want now, in case the operation is not going to be successful." Hijikata looked at everyone.

Everyone in the room looked at each other. Kondo was the first to speak up. "E-Everyone, why don't we do a barbecue tonight? S-Since tomorrow night is going to be rough, w-we might as well enjoy ourselves and b-build our bonds right?"

As soon as the word barbecue was mentioned, a chorus of "I'm in's" was heard (much to Kondo's delight). Here was the thoughts of each individual about the barbecue.

Kagura: I feel ashamed for using the tax robbers' money, but it's a barbecue uh-huh. Barbecue=food. Food=happiness. Besides, Gin-chan and I could steal some leftovers to last for next week uh-huh.

Gintoki: It's a barbecue! Even though it's extremely cliché, IT'S FREE FOOD!

Okita: What cliché crap is that? Oh well, I could use this chance to drug Hijikata's food and blame on Katsura.

Kamui: What? Barbecue? I could use this chance to get closer to imouto-can and explain what really happened!

Hijikata: Barbecue huh? I guess the shinsengumi does need a break once in a while.

Kondo: I'm going to use this chance to invite Otae-san here! (A/N: He doesn't know that Otae went on vacation xD)

And so, while each individual had their own ulterior motives, the barbecue party was put in action.

Ch. 4 is finally done!

If you guys are wondering about Abuto-san, he's on his way to the meeting Kamui was talking about in ch. 2

Ch. 5 will be more character relationship development during the party

Til next time~
