Ch.7


Gintoki was hiding in the thick bushes a few inches away from the ship, waiting for the right minute to get in until he heard loud foot steps behind him, "Ahh!" he turns around to see Kondo and Yamazaki crashing in front of him, "Ah! It's Gin-" Gintoki instantly kick them away from him and started to run, "Shit, I hope they didn't hear those two idiots." said Gintoki.

"What do you mean?" said Kondo who was catching up to Gintoki.

"Gah- shut up Gorilla-san! Don't blow my cover!" Gintoki started to run faster and faster away from the ship.

"Wait!" said Yamazaki as he tries to catch up to the other two.

Gintoki ran through the thick bushes and started to climb up a cliff once he got out of the woods. Until he realized that it was getting brighter by the minute, "Oh, we've been in the cave for one night- Wait a second! I'm so far from the ship now!" Gintoki instantaneously grabbed Kondo the moment he got up and started to slap Kondo left to right constantly as he yelled, "It was because of you two that I forgot what I was actually doing!"

"Wait, Gin-san! We don't understand?" said Yamazaki breathless.

Gintoki stop slapping Kondo and glared at Yamazaki, "uh- Well, let's go back then and be quiet this time." Gintoki avoid the question and climb back down and started to run back with Yamazaki and Kondo running after him.

As they were running back, Gintoki saw two heads chasing after each other behind some bushes not far from them; one was a orange head and the other one was a light brown head, "Oh, they're out of the cave now." Gintoki ran towards them with joy, only to see two monkeys with really small ears and noses that was the shape of an apple doing something to each other, "…" Gintoki paused and slowly walked away with his hands up, "Sorry for intruding in your business, I don't need to know what you're doing…"

"What happened?" said Yamazaki as he and Kondo caught up to see Gintoki make an uncomfortable expression.

Gintoki avoid that question too and slowly walked away with a deep strange voice, "We seriously need to do something about this rain though."

"Haha! What is up with your voice Gin-san?" Kondo remarked.

What are you talking about? My voice is just perfect." Gintoki turn around to show them yellow sticky mucus falling out of his nose.

Kondo started to laugh in the heavy rain, "Bwuahahahaha! You look so stupid Gin- Ah-Ah-Ah-Choo!" he sneezed into Yamazaki's face, "Ah! Why did you do that Kondo-san!?" Yamazaki wipe mucus off his face and started to sneeze back at Kondo by accident.

"Why you Yamazaki, you did that on purpose!"

"N-no I didn't- Ah-choo!" said Yamazaki as Kondo jump at him and was trying to sneeze in his face.

"Hold on a minute." Gintoki separated them and had his left hand to his chin; thinking. "I know why we're like this. It's because we're evolving! Well I am for sure but you two are just sick."

"Whoa! That's aweso- Oi!" said Kondo.

"Uh, actually you aren't evolving, you just happen to catch a cold and pass it to us." said Yamazaki.

Gintoki quickly grabbed Yamazaki by his collar and was about to deliver a blow until he cooled his head, "Heh, you're just jealous." He remark as he walk away acting cool until he heard someone call out his name and ran into him.


A few minutes earlier

Kagura and the others got out of the cave and into the rain, "this is some heavy rain." said Shinpachi as he turns around to see Kagura and Okita fighting for the umbrella, "Oi! Stop fighting over the umbrella and give it to me already!" Hijikata quickly grabbed the umbrella from them, but only to use it for himself.

"That's my umbrella though, uh-huh." Kagura pout.

"Well, it'll be like killing two birds with one stone, since I can just cling to your body so that I wouldn't have to walk and I won't get wet." said Okita as he quickly grab tightly onto Hijikata with his arms and legs wrap around Hijikata.

"Oh! That is a smart idea Sadist, uh-huh!"

"Oi! Get off me!" Hijikata tried to get Kagura and Okita off, but subsequently realized that Katsura and Elizabeth were grabbing onto him too, "Are you serious?!" Hijikata looked at the umbrella in his hand and swiftly passed it off to Shinpachi.

"Wh-what? Why did you give it to me Hijikata-san!" Shinpachi didn't know what to do and notice that everyone was already grabbing onto him like crazy people, "Gya! Why are you guys so afraid to touch the rain? It's just rain!"

"Heh, you don't understand Shinpachi-kun, it's because there is a chance that we could catch a cold from just being cold and wet, uh-huh."

"I know that very well Kagura!"

Katsura poked Shinpachi, "Are we going to look for Gin-san and Hiromasa or what?"

"Well walk on your own two legs!" Shinpachi burst with anger as he whacks each one of them with the umbrella.

"What was that for Shinpachi-kun? You're gonna pay for that, uh-huh!" Kagura let go and was rubbing the bump on her head.

Shinpachi froze when he saw angry faces walking towards him, "Eh, I was just playing around and you guys know that."

"Well of course we know that Shinpachi-kun." They all got closer and were getting ready to punch him until he suddenly ran, "Oi! Where are you going?!" said Hijikata as he was the first to run after him.

Shinpachi ran through the forest until he tripped on a rock and fell forward, now descending downhill through the mud, hitting rocks and bushes, "Ouch, ouch- eh?" Shinpachi looked forward to see Gintoki walking at the bottom of the hill, "Eh, Gin-san!?"

Gintoki turned to see Shinpachi sliding and rolling towards him, "Gwua!" Shinpachi continued to move downhill but along with Gintoki this time.

"What just happen?!" said Kondo as he and Yamazaki were shock. But they then slowly turned their heads to the right to see Sadaharu running whereas Hijikata, Okita, Kagura, Katsura, and Elizabeth were rolling downhill towards them. "Ah!" Kondo and Yamazaki was pushed forward and were now rolling downhill as well.

"Oh, it's Kondo-san and Yamazaki." said Okita.

"What? Then what happened to watching the civilians!?" said Hijikata.

They didn't have time to talk the moment Kagura interrupted their conversation, "Oh look, there is our stop, uh-huh." Kagura points to show Shinpachi and Gintoki lying in front of a gigantic stone. Alarmed with the fact that they would run into the stone made them all try to use each other as cushion, "What are you thinking China? Women can go first so you must go first." He grabbed her legs and pulled her forwards.

"What did you say? But I'm a girl not a woman and there is a difference, uh-huh!" She pulled Okita back in front of her.

"Yeah, yeah, now how about both of you go in front of me." Hijikata quickly grabbed Okita and pulled him and Kagura in front.

Kondo was going to do the same thing except by the time he was going to do it, he collide into the stone after Shinpachi and Gintoki. Then came after Kondo was Yamazaki, Katsura and Elizabeth; follow by Okita who smashed into Elizabeth and thought to himself how lucky that Elizabeth was already a good cushion.

He was interrupted in his thought once Kagura collide into him; he felt something slowly coming out from his nose and muttered to himself, "What? I have a nose bleed!?" Okita quickly cleaned it up. Except, once Hijikata slam into them, he caused Kagura to squeeze closer to Okita, (Gah, her chest!) more blood squirted out and Okita had to cover his nose while the rain helped wash it away.

(Why am I like this towards China? I can't be thinking about dirty thoughts! Especially since that isn't my personality.) Okita wondered as he hastily got up.

Okita look and realized that earlier Kagura was in between him and Hijikata at the moment they collided, "…I felt China's chest against my back and she felt… Hijikata's…" Okita slam his head against a tree telling himself not to think about anymore false thoughts.

"What is up with Sadist, uh-huh?" Kagura remarked.

"I don't know but he isn't acting like a sadist right now for sure." said Hijikata while helping Shinpachi get up.

"Ah-choo!" Gintoki wipe his boogers and narrow his eyes at everyone, "Uh, well now we all found each other again. Why are you guys so far away from me!?"

"Because you're sick Gin-chan, uh-huh."

"We don't want your germs." said Hijikata.

"Humph, well they're sick too and now you're infected! Hahahaha!" Gintoki coughed and sneezed instantaneously while laughing.

"-Sigh- let's take shelter again until these three idiots can recover." Shinpachi remarked.

Everyone agreed with the idea and started to look for shelter together, "What happened to Hiromasa?" Katsura quietly muttered to Gintoki.

Gintoki waver for a second and then told Katsura, "Takasugi is here on this planet Zura and he took Hiromasa but I don't know the reason why."

Katsura's eyes widened and he pointed at Gintoki, "It's not Zura; it's Katsura!" Hijikata stopped for a second after what Katsura said and then went back to lecturing Kondo, while the others were busy looking for shelter.

Gintoki was expressionless with Katsura's reply, "Then let's get going to Takasugi and Hiromasa." Katsura muttered.

"…Fine but we need to slowly get away from them unnoticed." Gintoki replied.

"I'm fine with that." Katsura replied.


"Gintoki and and Katsura are starting to walk slower than before." Hijikata remarked.

"Ah! Really? Why?" said Kondo.

Hijikata sigh and shook his head sideways, "Never mind, once they leave we're going after them. We can't afford to be separated constantly on this planet."

"I see." said Kondo.

"I'll tell the others about this then." Shinpachi replied.


Hiromasa sat quietly until he heard the bar door opened, "Yo, how do you like it here? It's nice you say? I'm glad that you like it." Kamui smiled while giving a signal to Hiromasa to walk out. Hiromasa notice Kamui had an umbrella with him this time, "Where are we going?" said Hiromasa.

"To go see the beast of course; you have heard about the terrible beast on this planet right?" Kamui slowly walk behind Hiromasa, keeping an eye on him.

"I have." Hiromasa replied.

"Well, I won't need to explain anything else then. But you do know that you could have escaped earlier before I came back right?"

"I know that very well but there are many other skilled people here so I wouldn't risk it."

Kamui smirk, "that's how weaklings think and I said I wouldn't bother with the weak. But you just happened to catch my attention because you have the potential to go crazy and we both know that you'll use your powers much better than someone we both know."

Hiromasa didn't look at Kamui at all but instead was thinking about what to do with this man, "Are you listening Zombie-chan?"

"I am." Hiromasa replied.

Kamui continued to smile, "Let me make this very clear to you, since you know Kagura that means you know the sliver hair samurai and I really want to fight him."

"So in truth you're going to make me stronger but at the same time I'm nothing more than bait for your prey in the end Kamui?"

"Yup, because if I didn't have any use for you then I would have killed you already while still smiling like this." Kamui laughed and walked ahead to see Abuto standing out in the rain stood with an extra umbrella, waiting for Kamui, "You brought this guy too boss?"

"Of course Abuto that's why I told you to bring an extra umbrella." Kamui leaned forward and whispered one last thing to Abuto. "Are sure boss? You were excited about it thought." said Abuto a little surprise.

"It's fine, besides I'm over it." Kamui immediately snatch the extra umbrella and threw it towards Hiromasa's feet, "It's useless to try to escape from me and didn't I say that as long as you work with me I won't kill you? So you better work with me on this for just a bit longer." Kamui ferociously smiled at Hiromasa and turned back to Abuto and pat him on his right shoulder, "He's all yours to take care of Abuto."

"What!?" Abuto retorted.

Kamui swiftly left before Abuto could say anymore, "-Sigh- well, I'll be babysitting you until we get to the location so you better not try to escape."

(I won't anymore… I'm more curios with what Kamui whispered to you instead.) Hiromasa thought as he picked u the umbrella by his feet and opened it.
