Hey guys, Murayama Tsuru here. Sorry for the late update, many things got in the way (like school starting or .Hack/Link playing). But, Here's the 25th chapter, I hope you enjoy ^_^

Disclaimer: I don't own Gintama; it's the property of Sorachi Hideaki-Sensei. Nor do I own NCIS; it belongs to CBS.

As Mikazuki Tsumi was making her preparations to both send Gibbs home and lend him some magic, Gibbs was starting to feel a little apprehensive about this idea. Not the going back home part, he really was ready to get back to Washington D.C.; but this whole magic thing was more than a little new to him so he didn't exactly trust is.

Gibbs was watching Tsumi draw strange markings on the floor of Sakata Gintoki's apartment (making him wonder if Sakata Gintoki would actually care or not), when Fornell came up to him and said, "So, you nervous Jethro?"

Gibbs clicked his tongue and gave an immediate, deadpan, "No." to his friend.

Fornell chuckled in return, "Well if I were you, I know I'd be nervous. Who knows what side effects magic could have."

"If you're so worried for me," Gibbs commented, "then why don't you go in my place?"

"And ruin your fun?" Fornell scoffed, "I don't think so. Besides who else is going to look after these guys to make sure they don't cause any trouble?"

"Well then," Gibbs answered, "would you please shut up? You're not helping in the least."

Fornell chuckled again, "Whatever you say, Jethro. Just trying to lighten things up for you is all."

Gibbs decided not to respond to his friend and went back to watching Tsumi, who looked to be finishing up her preparations. As she stood up, Abuto commented, "Wow, you're magical ability really has increased. Before you seemed to have no idea what your spells would do and now this. I'm sure your mom is proud of you because I know I am."

Tsumi sighed and looked at Abuto, "You know, although I like the fact that you're sucking up to me because you prevented me from punishing Yuri, it seems a little forced Abuto-san. Is this how you are with Kamui-san?"

Abuto Tch'ed, but said nothing, prompting a smirk and an eyebrow raise from Tsumi and a slight smirk, "Well, anyway, I forgive you for earlier. I guess I should have learned a while ago that you're not always on my side."

At that, Abuto raised one of his eyebrows and asked, "And what exactly do you mean by that?"

Tsumi shrugged, "Well, it's just that you will probably always put the Harusame space pirates before anything else so you probably wanted Yuri to be punished by your people is all I mean."

Abuto sighed and looked as if he wasn't going to deny what Tsumi had said, but then after another sigh, he said, "Not quite. Yeah, I owe loyalty to the Harusame, but saying who gets punished by whom is a completely different matter. I really didn't care about that at all. You just looked like you were about to go farther than you would have wanted to later so I stopped you. That's all."

Tsumi looked quite skeptical about Abuto's explanation. But, instead of demanding anything further, she turned to Gibbs and said, "Well, all preparations are now complete. Are you ready?"

Gibbs turned, one last time, to Fornell and asked, "Changed your mind about coming along yet?"

Fornell chuckled and said, "No, I think I'm going to leave this whole hero thing to you Jethro."

"I thought so," responded Gibbs with a slight smirk, he turned back to Tsumi and said with a nod, "Yeah, I'm ready."

Tsumi nodded back, "Ok, then if you'll just step into the circle I shall temporarily lend you some of my magic. Now, since you seem to be a little leery about magic, I'll transfer it to your gun so you won't have to worry about any conditions of using my magic in the first place."

Gibbs suddenly felt a lot better about using magic now. He hadn't known what to expect, but he hadn't expected it to be easy. Technology had always been hard for him, so he guessed that magic would be like that; frustrating and something he wished he didn't need. But, the fact that all the magic would be in his gun seemed to make things so much less complicated, making Gibbs silently thank Tsumi.

With another nod, Gibbs stepped into the circle and Tsumi began chanting in a language that he didn't understand. While she was chanting, Gibbs's gun began to heat up so he took it out and saw that it was not glowing with a warm, soft light. As Tsumi's chanting came to end, the gun's glow faded and Gibbs saw that somehow it had become inscribed with a curly, illegible script.

At Gibbs's raised eyebrow look directed at Tsumi, the psychic girl began explaining, "Because I decided to transfer some of my magic to your gun, I had to inscribe the spell into the gun itself so you wouldn't have to do anything that you wouldn't normally do when shooting someone. Now, when you face Gamajin, all you'll have to do is aim for his weak spot and shoot."

"So," Gibbs asked, "where is his weak spot?"

Tsumi shook her head, looking sheepish, "I don't know. But, I put another spell onto your gun so it should light up when you've found the weak spot. Also, even though your gun does have the magic to mortally weaken Gamagin, he can only be un-summoned with both main characters strength. So, you'll have to work with Gin-san to truly defeat him.

Gibbs nodded in assent (thinking that this would be the kind of thing that McGee would be able to explain better), so Tsumi continued speaking, "If you're ready, I shall send you back to your world."

Gibbs nodded once more and Tsumi began chanting once again. This time, the circle that Gibbs was standing started to glow and a wall of light began to encircle him. Gibbs imagined that this would also be something that McGee would be really into learning about when he got back to D.C. The silver-haired leader began to wonder how in the world he was going to explain all this (forgetting that it would all be run in Shonen Jump magazine eventually ^_^)

Suddenly, just as the wall was almost complete, a look came into Abuto's eyes and the one armed Yato quickly jumped into the circle. Gibbs then heard Tsumi growl, "Abuto-san, what do you think you're doing?"

Abuto shrugged and answered, "Sorry Mikazuki, Kamui's orders I have to make sure his sparing partners come back safe and sound." But Gibbs doubted that Tsumi heard what the Yato had said as a loud whooshing sound started up as the wall of light encircled the two completely and the Yorozuya disappeared.

Abby was in her lab working on things for various cases that were going on in NCIS, but feeling bored that not only had she not been told where her coworkers had gone to rescue (sort of) Gin and Takasugi from the hands of some evil dude nor had she been invited to join (she hadn't actually expected that last part, but a girl can dream, can't she?).

With another sigh, Abby wandered over to her radio to turn it up when a loud sound, like wind rushing over her ears very fast. She looked over to see a rather small circle appear in the floor and Gibbs and Abuto from Gintama appeared; both looking fairly annoyed with each other.

As the circle materialized completely and then disappeared, Gibbs growled, "You just had to jump in as well, didn't you?"

Abuto scowled in return and said, "Yeah I did, boss's orders. How was I to know that the circle was gonna be that small?"

Gibbs looked like he was about to respond something like 'well, all you had to do was just look at it.' But before he could say anything, Abby hug-tackled Gibbs and shouted gleefully, "Gibbs, you're back!"

Gibbs staggered back a step at the force of Abby's hug. But then, after the initial surprise wore off, Gibbs smiled gently and hugged her back saying, "Yeah, I'm back."

Once the two were done hugging, they separated and Gibbs asked, "Where are Tony and the others?"

Abby looked just a little bit peeved at that and said, "Wherever, Gin and Takasugi are. They found this morning that they weren't in Tony's apartment and then left in a tear once McGee found where they were with the phone that Takasugi had used earlier to contact Gin."

"Well," said Abuto, making his presence known to the other two, not really liking being ignored, "that certainly was clear. Do you know where they are now?"

Abby raised an eyebrow at Abuto's question, looking as if the answer was the most obvious thing in the world. But before either Abby or Abuto could start an argument between the two of them, Gibbs asked, "Abbs, please tell us where they are; only if I'm there can they defeat Gamajin."

Abby's eyes widened at that, "Really? This is definitely like a manga! Oh, this is so exciting! I've really been waiting for the chapters to come out in Shonen Jump but they just don't come out fast enough! Gibbs, you gotta tell ,me—"

"Abby," Gibbs interrupted, "where are they? We need to get going now."

"Oh, right," Abby said, remembering what they were talking about before, "just give me minute and I'll tell you." The forensic expert then turned to her computer and typed something into it furiously.

After what seemed to be about 10 seconds, the wrote something down on a piece of paper and turned back to Gibbs, handing it to him and saying, "Because I don't actually know what Takasugi's phone number is I had to look up McGee's. They're near a warehouse in—"

"Good work, Abbs." Gibbs interrupted again, kissing her on the cheek. Then, turning to Abuto he said, "It's time to get going. I'm driving."

Abby grinning, said, "Good luck Abuto, you're going to need it." And then the two men walked out of Abby's lab, Abuto grumbling something about how he really did have the worst luck of all the Yato and Gibbs responding that this had been his choice in the first place. Abby grinned as she watched the two leave, glad the Gibbs was finally back home.

Gin watched, slightly impressed at Tony's shot and slightly annoyed that his fight had been interrupted (after all, the author of this story isn't that great at action scenes so fights don't often happen), as Gamajin collapsed on the ground with a loud thunk.

The summon then lay unmoving on the ground and Gin guessed that the fight was over and he could finally get back to the Yorozuya and continue his normal life. Gin turned to Tony with a grudging smile and said, "Good shot."

Tony wiggled his eyebrows in return (all serious from before gone) and boasted, "I know, I'm awesome like that."

At that, both Ziva and McGee scoffed, and the Mossad said, "I am a much better shot than you. You got lucky."

Tony gave a mildly offended sniff and said haughtily, "I did not get lucky! If Tim had tried to make that shot, it would have been lucky if he had made it. But not me! I'm—"

"I would not have missed that shot either!" Tim countered, "You two aren't the only ones who can use a gun, y'know."

"Yes, yes," Takasugi commented boredly, "you're all good at shooting things from a distance. But, I bet none of you would be able to use a sword like me or Gin."

"Wait a second," Gin commented, "doesn't someone on your team use guns as well? You're insulting you're Kiheitai, y'know…Isn't that bad for morale or something?"

Takasugi looked at Gin with an eyebrow raised and a smirk on his face, "And how would you know something that would be good for morale? I seem to recall you being especially bad at boosting morale when prompted."

"You see?" said Gin triumphantly, "You said 'when prompted'. Given no motivation at all, I can do wonders for morale. You on the other hand…" Gin trailed off with a grin prompting a dark scowl from Takasugi.

But, before another retort could be give, a voice said, "So you think you've won?" prompting everyone to turn back around, watching as Gamajin stood up and brushed imaginary dirt off his clothes, as if that was more important than the fact that he had just stood up from being shot in the head like it was nothing.

With a surprised blink, Tony said, "You're alive? But I'm sure I got you right in the head."

"Hah," McGee snorted, "guess you're not such a good shot after all."

Tony shot a glare at McGee, but then Gamajin said, "You did get me in the forehead," causing Tony to smirk at McGee, "but I cannot be killed by something so ordinary as a gun."

"Well then," Gin said, looking both annoyed that the fight wasn't over and excited that he'd finally be able to see some action, "if guns won't work, then we'll have to try something else. Won't we Katame-kun?"

Takasugi sighed and rolled his eye (he was really getting sick of Gin making fun of the fact that he only had one eye). But before he could say anything in retort, Gamajin barked out a laugh, "Hah! Swords won't be able to defeat me either. You would need magic to do that. Of which, I believe, you have none."

Just as Gamajin finished speaking, a car squealed to a stop next to the other NCIS member's vehicle, prompting everyone to focus on who the newcomers were. Once it was clear that the vehicle wasn't going to move anymore, a car door opened and Abuto staggered out, looking more than a little queasy.

"Damn," Abuto groaned, "and I thought Yato were bad drivers…I was wrong…"

Then, the other door opened and Gibbs got out, looking completely fine. He turned to Gin and said, "Good, I got here in time. Let's defeat this bastard."

And that is the end of that chapter!...I just realized something, we're actually nearing the end of this story! I think, maybe there will be 2-4 chapters left (I give a large estimate, because I tend not to stick to any sort of chapter limit ^_^) Well, anyway, with that said, I shall leave you until next update. As always, reviews are greatly appreciated as I love to know what you guys think. Until next chapter then.
