Yamazaki ran through the streets of Edo with an unconscious Kondo over his shoulder.
Beside him ran Gintoki.
Where were they headed?
To an emergency that involved their vice chief and the Yororuya's China girl, according to what Captain Okita had said.
Gin had stopped fooling around the moment he had heard the emergency had something to do with Kagura.
Was it his fatherly instincts that had kicked in? No, more like his thoughts had intsantly gone to how much collateral damage he had to pay if that girl did something. He wouldn't be able to have proper sweets for weeks!
"Oy hurry up! You should just drop that luggage you're carrying." Gin told Yamazaki.
"Who are you calling luggage? He's our chief!" Yamazaki replied.
"Look! We're passing by the zoo, you can drop him off here." Gin threw back.
"Ah! Stop it boss, The chief is already hurt enough!" Yamazaki pleaded as Kondo let out a moan.
They eventually arrived at the location that Okita told them about.
Gin began looking around, trying to hear any obvious screaming or some form of destruction.
Yamazaki did the same, after setting Kondo down at a nearby bench.
They didn't know what to expect, especially when it involved a yato girl and a demon vice chief.
"Yo Boss, Yamazaki, it took you guys long enough to get here." They heard a familiar voice.
They spotted Okita and, surprisingly, Shinpachi, coming their way.
"Yo Pachi-boy, you got called too? Don't tell me Kagura did something?" Gin asked Shinpachi.
The glassed boy looked pale and was nervously fidgeting.
"Um well, Gin-san... I don't really know how to explain it because we don't really know what's going on either but-" Shinpachi tried to say.
"Hijikata-san may or may not be a pedophile and China may or may not be on a date with him and Hiikata-san may or may not be dead because of China." Okita reported in a dead pan tone, cutting Shinpachi off.
"What?!" Yamazaki let out.
Okita silently pointed at the direction of Kagura and Hijikata.
It took a minute or two for them to spot the strange couple but when they did, they wished they hadn't.
In the midst of an ever moving wave of people walking about, Kagura was crouched over Hijikata, who seemed to be unconscious on the ground.
"Hey Mayo-addict, you alive?" Kagura asked, poking his cheek.
No response.
Meanwhile, her observers were slowly turning paler and paler.
"What happened to the vice-chief, Captain Okita?!" Yamazaki asked in a panic.
"He tried to keep that disgusting snack of China's away from her." Okita replied.
Gin turned paler. No one should mess with Kagura's sukonbu, No one.
"Wait! What did you mean about a date?" Yamazaki asked, "This looks more like a crime scene doesn't it?"
"Huh? Crime? What crime? It was self-defense, right Shinpachi?!" Gin stammered, sweating profusely, "kagura was just protecting herself from that mayo-addict, yeah that's gotta be it!"
Shinpachi looked at him with a face that already gave up a while ago.
"Um, Gin-san, stop trying to cover it up." He told his boss.
"Shut up and play along, dammit! Do you know what that baldy will do to me if Kagura gets arrested under my watch?!" Gin growled.
He started to think of ways to make Kagura look innocent.
Meanwhile, Sougo watched him.
The Yorozuya boss wasn't reacting the way he wanted him to, Sougo thought to himself.
Well that was to be expected, they were currently observing a possible murder, the thought that maybe those two were on a date wouldn't come to mind at all right now.
For once in Sougo's life, he thought 'Hijikata-san, please be alive."
And as if on cue, Hijikata rose up.
The vice chief staggered a bit but eventually regained his balance.
"About time you got up, uh huh!" Kagura told him remorselessly
"Who's fault was it I got knocked out in the first place?!" Hijikata replied.
"What are you talking about? That was a soft kick," Kagura defended herself, "Geez, I guess that's the affects of eating that much mayonnaise, you can't take a hit."
"Says the one who got all violent over seaweed junk!" Hijikata retorted.
He 'Tch!'-ed then, to the horror of their newly arrived observers, grabbed Kagura's hand and began walking through the crowd again, with her in tow.
"Just hurry up and keep walking, we attracted too much attention back there." he told her.
"It's your fault you wouldn't give me my sukonbu." Kagura muttered with a blank expression.
They kept walking for a bit until Kagura pulled at Hijikata's grip.
"What?!" He asked, obviously annoyed.
"I'm hungry again." She stated.
"Eat your seaweed!" Hijikata growled, he tried to get her walking again but Kagura, of course, didn't budge.
Hijikata sighed.
"What do you want?" he growled.
Kagura's face instantly lit up.
"Takoyaki!" she almost yelled.
Hijikata 'Tch!-ed again, he spotted a Takoyaki vendor and made his way toward it.
Kagura skipped along next to him, she held onto his sleeve the whole time until they got to the line for the vendor. She hummed as they waited, happy that she was going to get to eat.
"Takoyaki! Takoyaki! Takoyaki! Yummy yummy yummy balls-!"
"What the hell are you singing, china!?" Hijikata growled.
"Geez, you ruined the ending." Kagura complained.
A small distance away from them, stood Gin, Shinpachi, Okita and Yamazaki.
Sougo would have been grateful to Hijikata for holding China's hand again if the sight of it hadn't made him feel so disgusted. Now both Yamazaki and The yorozuya boss also felt their confusion.
"W-What's going on!?" Yamazaki stuttered. He had just witnessed the demonic vice chief holding a young girl's hand. This wouldn't have been a shock if it were some other guy but this was the vice-chief they were talking about, he never showed any forms of affection (normal forms of affection that is. He usually did it violently or in a strange way)
"That's what we've been asking ourselves." Shinpachi told Yamazaki, "we have no idea what those two are up to."
Wait a minute, Shinpachi thought, so far it was only Yamazaki reacting. What about Gin-sa-!
"Aah!" Shinpachi shrieked.
Gin-san was gone.
Or at least he wasn't in the spot they saw him last.
He was supposed to be crouching beside Okita behind a stall but Okita was alone.
"Okita-san, Where is Gin-san!?" Shinpachi asked.
He flinched, the captain had turned to face him and was uncharacteristically blushing.
Okita, with pink cheeks that almost looked like utter excitement, pointed at the direction where Hijikata and Kagura were.
"AAaaah!" Both Yamazaki and Shinpachi shrieked.
They had spotted Gintoki, he was making his way towards Kagura and Hijikata,
... he had Lake Toya in his hand.
