Hey everybody, it's me, The Goon. Chapter 9 is now up for your enjoyment :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Gin Tama or any characters except Amy, Kyle, Mr. Bleu, and Schroeder.

Story: Under mysterious circumstances, the Odd Jobs crew fall from the sky into the home of Amy, who happens to have a crush on Gin.

Amy takes the Odd Jobs crew to school, telling them to stay put in the shed. Of course, they can't handle that, and find themselves inside the school gym just when everyone starts heading towards second period. Gin accidentally ends up in the girls locker room, and realizes Amy's cuter than he thought she was. Kagura ends up having an embarassing moment in front of a complete stranger (let's just say it involves flatulence) and ends up running away in embarassment...which is when she overhears Takasugi telling Kyle about some more juicy details in his master plan. She then reunites with Gin and Shinpachi and tells them what she heard shortly before going back to hiding in the shed. Katie finds her way to the shed and the Odd Jobs crew think she might not keep their secret...until Katie reveals herself to be Shinpachi's older sister, Otae!


"No way!" cried Shinpachi, "Big sister?"

"Otae?" asked Kagura and Gin.

"Yes," said Otae, "It's been me the whole time."

"What happened to Katie?" asked Shinpachi.

"I had to knock her out and hide her," replied Otae.

"When?" asked Shinpachi.

"A little before you guys landed in Amy's room," replied Otae, "Fortunately she said enough about herself during that time for me to learn about her. And Amy still thinks that I'm Katie."

"But why?" asked Gin.

"Because I need to see some inside things for this world that I couldn't get if I were here as Otae," replied Otae, "Before I passed out and woke up in the middle of an alley, I saw Takasugi nearby drinking something. Next thing I know, suddenly he disappeared and I passed out, and ended up in this world."

"Strange," said Kagura.

"Something big is going on," said Otae, "and I think it involves the dance tomorrow night."

"We know," said Kagura, "I overheard Takasugi and short jerk talking about it, uh-huh!"

"What did they say?" asked Otae.

"Oh, just something about lots of couples, love, reviving a dead spirit…stuff like that!" replied Kagura.

"Shugo…" whispered Otae.

"What?" asked Shinpachi.

"Although it's a common Japanese name," said Otae, "It's also the name of an evil spirit."

"The one Takasugi was talking about?" asked Gin.

"Yes," said Otae, "I believe it is when much love is in the air in one place that it awakens…which is ironic, since love is what Shugo seeks to destroy."

"But why a spirit that destroys love?" asked Kagura.

"Because that's what connects people to each other," said Otae, "Their feelings of love. Without love, all the people in the world would hate each other and nothing would be right!"

"So let me guess," said Gin, "Takasugi's gonna release Shugo, and then try and get control over it and overthrow the Bakufu government, and then probably destroy the world."

"Most likely," said Otae, "But Takasugi has no idea what he's messing with. People can't simply control evil spirits like they think they can."

"Logic doesn't necessarily apply to Takasugi," said Gin.

Look who's talking, thought Shinpachi.

"So what's the best chance of us stopping him?" asked Shinpachi.

"Easy," replied Otae, "Go to the dance tomorrow."

"Oh, uh…" Kagura and Shinpachi were hesitant about this. Neither of them were sure if they could get anyone to go with them.

"I didn't say you had to bring a date," said Otae, "You just have to be there to stop Takasugi before he succeeds."

"Sounds easy enough," said Shinpachi, "Assuming it's only Takasugi we have to deal with and that we're the only ones who know about it."

"Well," said Otae, "That's not true. Other people know about what's going on…"

"Who?" asked Kagura.


"What?" cried Hijikata and Okita, "You knew Katie was actually Otae all along?"

"Keep it down!" hissed Kondo.

The Shinsengumi were still in the vents in the ceiling. Surely if they were too loud, the echoes would be heard in one or more of the classrooms.

"Yes, I did," said Kondo.

"So that's why you insisted on following her around!" exclaimed Hijikata, "I should have known!"

"No that's not it," said Kondo, "Well, not the entire reason. I was following her in the alleys…"

"You never give up stalking her, do you?" asked Okita.

"That's not the point!" cried Kondo.

"Keep it down!" hissed Hijikata and Okita.

"Anyway," said Kondo, "While following her, I saw her following that rebel bastard Takasugi, and then after he disappeared, she fell down to the ground and passed out. I was going to run over to help her, but then the same thing happened to me."

"And then you woke up, found us in the neighborhood, and decided to keep following her," concluded Okita.

"No," replied Kondo, "Then I saw her knocking out Katie and disguising herself as her."

"Where did she put Katie?" asked Hijikata.

"Who knows?" wondered Kondo, "All I know is that something was going on, Otae was onto something, and then you two show up and start following me."

"Well," said Hijikata, "Now that we know Katie is actually Otae, we might actually get closer to the truth of what's really going on…whatever that is."


In the lunch room, Amy left to go bring some food to the Odd Jobs crew. On the other side of the lunch room, Schroeder sat by himself as usual. Well, he wasn't by himself. He just didn't know anybody that sat at his table. While he ate, he usually liked to doodle. He had drawn a human figure. The figure was short, in booty shorts and flip flops, and had a red tank top, with short orange hair and two ornamental pins in her hair. She also had a smug smile on her face, and her arms were crossed, as if she meant business.

Why can't I get that girl off my mind? Who is she? I hope I see her again, he thought.

Suddenly, the intercom turned on, and a message was spread throughout the whole school. The voice on the intercom was none other than Mr. Bleu.

"Attention students, faculty, and staff," said Mr. Bleu, "This is a very important warning. A creeper has been spotted on campus! He has long, white hair and is wearing women's clothing! Be on the lookout for him!"

Everyone on campus who knew who Mr. Bleu was talking about had practically the same reaction. Gin! thought the Shinsengumi. Oh no, thought Amy. The faggot is actually here, thought Kyle. Wonderful timing, Gin, thought Takasugi.

"Gin, did you seriously get spotted?" asked Otae.

"You idiot!" shouted Shinpachi.

""You did it this time, uh-huh!" shouted Kagura.

"Guess you won't be sneaking around here for a while," said Otae.

"I think I'll go get something to eat," said Gin.

"No, you idiot!" they all cried, "They know what you look like!"

They all heard the door creeping open. An ominous shadow was seen in the small opening. Otae and the Odd Jobs crew backed away to the back wall of the shed out of fear that they would get caught.

Until they realized it was just Amy, who was considerate enough to bring food for Gin and the rest.

"It's just me, guys," said Amy, "You don't have to look so worried."

"We thought you were someone else," said Shinpachi, who crawled back to the center where Amy was, along with the rest of them.

"No one really comes back here except for the janitors," said Amy. She paused when she saw Otae. Aside from the hair, she still looked like Katie.

"Katie?" asked Amy.

"No," replied Otae, "Katie's been…missing for a couple days."

"Then who are you and where's Katie?" asked Amy.

"I'm Otae, Shinpachi's older sister," replied Otae, "and Katie is…well…"

Before Otae could finish her sentence, an alarm was heard throughout the school.

"I don't freaking believe this," whined Amy, "I dunno why they do this during lunch hour when it's harder to take a head count."

"When they do what?" asked Gin.

"Fire drills," said Amy, "The administration must have decided to do one today."

But they hadn't. The administrators were arguing amongst themselves about the fire alarm. "Who pulled the fire alarm?" "Whoever did is in serious trouble!" "How are we going to do a head count during lunch hour?" "This is the worst possible time to have a drill!"

It wasn't even the Shinsengumi who pulled it. It would put innocent bystanders in harm's way (though Okita usually did not care, so long as the job got done).

It was Takasugi who had pulled the fire alarm. He had pulled the alarm in one of the upstairs hallways when it was empty, then quickly ran up to the roof where he had been already.

If Gin really is here, thought Takasugi, then this fire drill should bring him out!
