WARNING: This is a FILLER CHAPTER. You have been warned.
Chapter 6: Eclipse in Yoshiwara
"Well, well. How nice of you to drop by?" Housen said with a sadistic grin.
"How nice of you to be waiting for us?" Gintoki returned the courtesy without batting an eyelid. That wiped the smug grin from Housen's face effectively.
"The boy is here for his mother, who is, by the way, dead long time ago. But you? Tell me, why are you here? Are you here to have a drink with my women?"
"You're lying. My mother is not dead! Not unless you killed her!" Seita tried to fight back his tears but failed.
Housen threw him a tiny bundle of hair to the floor.
"Your mother is dead long time, boy, whether you want to accept it or not. If you really want to meet her, I'll gladly send you to where she is."
A kunai flew towards Housen without warning, which he dodged with ease. The kunai then proceeded to fly past the top of Hinowa's head, only missing by a few inches. The famous courtesan hissed, "Watch it, brat! You nearly kill me!"
"What's the big deal, woman? You're not dead yet. You made me almost forget my line. Oh yeah, I remember now. Your mother is inside. Just call out to her, Seita."
"You just killed the mood, dobe." Seita huffed.
"Hey, that was my move and my line! Don't simply snatch people's scene just to gain more air time, damn it." Gintoki yelled angrily.
"Shut up! This is not the canon story and you're not the only main character here. Whoever says it first wins." Naruto showed him a 'V' sign with his fingers.
"Who wants to drink here? Hot babes plus some boost doesn't equals fun. Even back at Otose's snack bar, everyone drank freely and had fun. But here, I can't even enjoy myself. I don't want a drink from a crying woman. Tears make the best boost bad. I want to drink from a smiling woman without sadness." Gintoki recited his lines in record time so that Naruto wouldn't be able to steal his limelight again.
Tsukuyo rolled her eyes to the back of her head. Boys and their competitiveness!
"Wait, something is not right aru. Where's my bad-ass fighting scenes with Abuto? Don't tell me it got cut?" Kagura stomped her feet, punching a hole in the wooden floor with her heels.
Shinpachi chipped in, "Yeah, I was supposed to be in that fight too. Damn it, my scene time is already limited and there are only a handful of times which I look cool."
"Shut up, both of you! Both of you are supposed to defeat Abuto, then open up Yoshiwara's roof to bring in the sun." Gintoki yelled with a resounding voice.
"…"
A black crow flew by. No one spoke a single word for the longest time.
"So that was your plan huh?" Housen laughed so hard that his ancient face cracked into more wrinkles and he had to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Huh? I'm totally lost now. WTF?" The readers scratched their head and asked.
"How the hell am I supposed to know? The writer f**ked up the sequence big time."
"Cut! Everyone take a break in five. Follow the damn script or I'll fire every single one of you and put the story on indefinite hiatus, don't think I won't!" the director yelled.
After a five-minute break.
"Everyone cool now?"
Only a very unenthusiastic "Yes." could be heard.
"I can't hear you!"
"Aye, aye, director!"
"Good. Eclipse in Yoshiwara: Scene One, Take Two."
"Well, well. How nice of you to drop by?" Housen said with a sadistic grin.
"How nice of you to be waiting for us?" Gintoki returned the courtesy without batting an eyelid. That wiped the smug grin from Housen's face effectively.
"…"
After a moment, Housen finally said sheepishly, "Erm, sorry. I forgot my line."
"Cut! What's up with you? Do you have Alzheimer or something, old man? Can't even remember a simple line?" the director's patience was running thin.
"Geez, people age. Be kind to the elders. You'll one day get old too." Ginpachi sensei jumped out from nowhere and began to lecture the director.
"This is not your session, Ginpachi sensei. Get lost from my set!"
"Eclipse in Yoshiwara: Scene One, Take Three."
"Well, well. How nice of you to drop by?" Housen said with a sad grin.
"Cut! For Christ's sake, sadistic, not sad, old man."
"Eclipse in Yoshiwara: Scene One, Take Four."
"Well, well. How nice of you to drop by?" Housen said with a sadistic grin.
"How nice of you to be waiting for us? Are the hot babes waiting for us too?" Gintoki winked.
"Cut! Stick to your *beep* script, Gintoki! If you screw up again, none of you are going home today."
"Yes, yes, director."
"Eclipse in Yoshiwara: Scene One, Take Five."
"Well, well. How nice of you to drop b-"
Before Housen could finish his line, a loud fart was released to the air. The smell soon spread on the set. Everyone had to pinch their nose and hold their breath.
"Cut!" the director muttered with a choked voice.
"Why are all of you looking at me like that? I didn't do it, I swear!" Housen said angrily. "It was him!" he pointed his finger towards Gintoki.
"Just admit it, old man."
"I didn't!" Housen insisted but no one believed him.
Meanwhile, Tsukuyo looked perfectly innocent. She silently blamed it on the bad sushi she had for lunch.
"Cut! Cut! Cut!"
After the countless failed attempts to shoot the scene, the director threw his towel to the floor. "I quit!"
"Does that means we can go home now? My feet are numb."
"Excuse me, I need to go to the toilet."
"Me too, I need to pee."
"I'm hungry aru."
"My sugar level just hit the new low. I need something sweet to eat."
"I need to go to the bank. I wonder if it's still open."
"I want to kill someone!" Kamui muttered with murderous intent. He just wasted precious amount of time waiting for his scene to be shot. Everyone scattered as far away from him as possible. With that, everyone on set was dismissed.
Day turned to night, although it made no difference in Yoshiwara. Drool dripped from the corner of Naruto's mouth when he woke up. "Huh? Where's everybody?"
"WTF? I want the five-minutes of my life reading this back!" the readers protested angrily.
"This is a filler chapter, what do ya all expect?" The writer responded while she expertly dodging flying rotten eggs and water bottles aiming at her.
TBC
A/N: Sorry, I can't give you back the five minutes of your life spent reading this. I have no excuse for this filler chapter. XD
