I actually don't have anything to say except enjoy!
SmileRen: I figured you'd be getting impatient. XD And I'm not surprised you're that crazy for Kamui, plus you're also crazy for Gintama in general as well. LOL
Angelbott: Yeah, Shinpachi IS a huge fan of Otsu, we all know that. Seems like there's not one song from her that he doesn't like. ^^"
Early morning, I swept the floors since for some reason. There have been dust and dirt everywhere. Part of it was from Kagura, who was stepping a lot in a mud puddle last night. I had no idea why she jumped in it, but what I did know was that she didn't wear her shoes. Did she want to have her bare feet jump in mud? Well, even if she did explain to me on why she did it, I wouldn't really get it.
I managed to clean up the floor, and it looked shiny. Literally.
I nodded my head with a smile and thought, There we go! All clean!
Just then, there was a loud knock at the door. Shinpachi and Kagura were fighting over who would get the last piece of orange (I'm guessing they were obsessed with it.), so they didn't hear it. But I did. I turned around, wondering who could it possibly be.
So I walked to the door, and opened it. Opening my eyes in major surprise, the person knocking was actually Hijikata Toushiro.
I asked, "Hijikata? What're you doing here? Don't you get angry at us, like, a lot?" True, he would always get pissed at the Yorozuya, but Gintoki was probably one of his biggest enemies ever.
He took his cigarette out of his mouth, turned his head slightly, and blew a puff of smoke out. He answered, "I do get angry at the Yorozuya, but I don't know you that well. Did you say your name is...Madison Willis?"
I nodded my head. "That's right. Do you have a request or something?" For the truth, I was hoping he didn't. Because if he did, I would have a terrible feeling that he would probably make us get some mayonnaise. I mean, I like mayonnaise on sandwiches and such, but I would never eat mayonnaise on everything (Food). Wouldn't he get sick from it? Oh well.
He said, "It's not exactly a request, but I need someone to do a favor. Not for me, but for the Shinsengumi."
Kagura and Shinpachi finally stopped fighting, and it seemed that Kagura ate the whole orange because Shinpachi exclaimed at her, "You brat!" The two then heard Hijikata's voice, and turned their heads to see them.
Hijikata blinked, but pretty much ignored them. He explained to me, "So anyways, there was something strange going on for the past two days."
I raised a brow up, and asked, "And what's that?"
"Something or someone has been stealing my mayonnaise from the Headquarters' fridge, and I asked literally every single Shinsemgumi member to see who stole it. They looked confused and disgusted, telling me that none of them did it."
I knew it. It was about his freaking mayonnaise! Was he some sort of addict to that high-in-fat (Not sure if it's fat, but it's still not healthy to eat so much mayonnaise.) glob? I laughed, covering my mouth.
Hijikata looked irritated, so he hit my head with his hand. "Don't laugh. This is serious."
I managed to stop laughing, so I decided to listen.
He said, "I came here, wondering if any one of you brats would watch over the Headquarters while the Shinsengumi and I do some important stuff. Because the 'thing' has stolen one of my mayonnaise bottles while my back was turned."
Kagura stuck her tongue out, giving Hijikata a what-the-hell look. She obviously didn't want to do it. Shinpachi couldn't do it because his sister, Otae, told him to spend time with him for the day. I sighed, and noticed that I didn't have anything planned for today.
"I'll do it."
He stared at me for a moment, but said, "Hm, alright then. But you'll have to follow my orders so that there won't be consequences." Hijikata glared at me for a moment, looking as if I would be like Gintoki and Kagura. You know, being an idiot and goofing off.
I informed him, "I'll follow them if you tell me what they are."
"First off, we need to get to the Shinsengumi Headquarters."
Hijikata turned his back, and started walking out. I told Kagura and Shinpachi, "I'll see you when I get back!" I waved at them as I put my brown shoes on. They waved back, and I walked out the door as soon as I was ready to go out.
As I walked beside Hijikata, he continued to smoke, and asked, "You better watch out for Sougo, okay? He can make fun of girls too."
I laughed, and replied, "I won't be offended, no matter what he says. Don't you remember when I first introduced myself to you and that crazy sadist?"
"I do, but he's always trying to kill me. I know the reason for it, but he needs to calm the fuck down."
I laughed once again, and thought, Wonder how long I'll need to watch the Headquarters.
Not long later, we arrived at the Shinsengumi Headquarters. I then walked behind Hijikata because he told me to. I see Okita coming outside, wearing headphones in his ears. He took one of them out, and asked, "Hijikata-San, why'd you bring this teenage girl?"
Okita looked at me for a second, and asked, "Did Hijikata-San bring you here just so that you could be his lover?"
My eyes opened wide, and Hijikata shouted at him, "DON'T YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING, YOU ASS?"
He ignored him, and said, "Wait, it's about the little situation, isn't it?"
"IT'S NOT LITTLE, IT'S HUGE!"
I shook my head, thinking, He's overreacting. Get a grip, Hijikata!
Yamazaki ran towards us, and told Hijikata, "Vice-Commander! We really need to get going! Matsudaira really wants us to meet up with him in 20 minutes, otherwise he'll get pissed off!" Since Yamazaki was in some sort of panic, he didn't even bother to recognize me, and ask who I was.
Hijikata sighed with a grunt, and replied, "Yamazaki-San, don't panic. He won't get that pissed off." He then turned to me, and told me, "Now Madison, follow these rules. Don't break anything, don't rip anything, don't spill anything, don't make a mess on anything, and most importantly, don't take any sword or weapon in this place. Understand?"
I knew it perfectly, so I nodded my head. Okita blurted, "And don't turn into a crack-head like Hijikata."
Hijikata swiftly turned to Okita, and hollered at him, "I'M NOT A CRACK-HEAD! I ONLY SMOKE CIGARETTES!"
Okita had his headphones back in his ear, not listening to Hijikata at all. Hijikata and the rest of the Shinsengumi officers started to get into police cars, and drive off.
He yelled at me, "Remember what I told you! Otherwise there will be consequences!"
Yeah, yeah. I thought as I rolled my eyes. Hijikata didn't see me so I didn't irritate him.
Just as all the police cars were gone, there was no one here but me. I walked, exploring the Headquarters as I was silent. I didn't really feel like talking to myself, because I would think I was talking to someone when there's no one beside me or even behind me.
I decided to go in, and explore the inside of it. There was, obviously, no mess whatsoever. It was organized and some of the swords was hanging on nails on a wall. Were the nails going to support the swords for long? If the nails are thick, probably.
Matsudaira...oh, that's right! He's the government officer! I thought loudly in my head. I had nearly forgotten who he was, and what he does for a living. The only thing I already knew before nearly forgetting him was that he has a daughter named Kuriko Matsudaira.
I blinked my eyes, scanning the room (Which I was in.). I ruffled my hair, and immediately got bored as I kept standing.
My eyelids lowered a bit, and I actually got a bit hungry. I thought, Hijikata never told me I couldn't eat the food here. So maybe I'll just have a snack.
Hijikata never mentioned anything about food and such, but I remembered that he told me not to spill anything. I thought it was in case I had a drink from the vending machine they have. But since I don't have any coins to put in (Since all vending machines have a slot, where people need to put money in if they want a drink.), there would be no way that I was going to get any drink. That is, unless I just got a glass of water from a sink if they have any.
I slapped my forehead, realizing that they do have sinks. Duh! Why would the Headquarters not have sinks? I feel stupid!
I looked for a fridge, and wanted to get something to eat. Luckily, I managed to find one. I opened the fridge door, and spotted a few things that were good enough. What wasn't good was that there were four bottles of mayonnaise. I gave out a disgusted look to no one, and instead, I found an apple. I smiled slightly, grabbing the apple, and started to eat it.
A drop of juice from the apple fell down the corner of my mouth, so I wiped it with my finger, and licked the juice off my finger.
I only wanted a snack, so I didn't bother eating anything else.
As I finished the apple, I threw it away in the nearest garbage, and continued to wander around. From one wall, there was another sword, being supported by nails. But I ignored it, and walked to the huge room, where the Shinsengumi officers have their meetings.
Wow, I've never expected it to be this huge!
It looked like the room could hold more than 50 people! Well, I wasn't so sure, but tons of people could fit here!
I spun around, sort of dancing as I looked around the huge room. Right before I could tell, I fell backwards, hitting the floor with my butt. I blinked, and giggled a bit. Of course, I wasn't supposed to mess around here since that was part of Hijikata's rules.
So I decided to not mess anything up, and instead, I sat down, pretending to be the Commander or Vice-Commander.
"Listen up, you wussies!" I exclaimed to myself in a male voice. "You better get your asses together, and beat the people who get drunk off their asses!" I couldn't help but laugh at myself. If my sister Gabby was here, she would definitely laugh along.
I stopped laughing a moment later, and closed my eyes halfway. If I was really sitting in front of tons of men, I wouldn't really handle it, because this is like stage fright.
I was never used to many people staring at me. But since no one was here, I was relieved. Otherwise, I wouldn't even talk with many stares!
I stood up, and walked out of the big room. Then, I realized that I'd forgotten why I was supposed to watch the Headquarters. But just as I opened my eyes widely, I could've sworn I heard the fridge door open.
Were the Shinsengumi done with their business already? Or was it...
The 'thing'? The 'thing' that has been stealing Hijikata's mayonnaise?
Hijikata did tell me that the person or thing has also been stealing his mayonnaise in the daytime, whenever he wasn't looking. Although I really thought this whole thing, about me watching the Headquarters, was extremely pointless since Hijikata overreacts about his favorite 'food'.
But I decided to see who was at the fridge anyways, since I didn't want there to be consequences.
As I was getting closer and closer to the noise from the fridge, I walked slower so that the person or thing wouldn't catch me. But then again, I thought, Oh, what the hell?
I jumped a foot in front of me, and saw who was at the fridge, taking a bottle of Hijikata's mayonnaise. It was obviously a person, not just a 'thing'. And it was a male. He turned his head, and saw me with a straight face.
My eyes blinked, and I said, "Shogun."
He didn't say a word. Instead, he closed the fridge door, and stood still for a moment.
Finally, he said, "You're not Hijikata's girlfriend, are you?"
Did he really ask that? I chuckled, and answered, "No. I'm too young to be his girlfriend. Why're you stealing his mayonnaise? But then again, I don't see why Hijikata got upset when he noticed some of his bottles went 'missing'."
Shogun replied, "He's about to get sick from eating too much of it." He turned his body around, but his chest and underwear was exposed. He did wear clothes, but they weren't tight enough to cover up the front of his body.
I raised a brow up, and thought, Yep, that's Shogun alright.
I didn't bother telling him to wear his clothes properly. Instead, I replied to him, "Yeah, I don't understand why he eats so much of it. He's crazy."
Shogun kept that straight look on his face. To be honest, it looked kind of creepy. But I would never say that to his face.
I told him, "Well, Shogun, Hijikata wants this to stop. So could you not steal anymore bottles that way he won't make me watch the Headquarters over this stupid situation?"
He blinked, and said, "Alright. I'll stop. But if Hijikata gets really sick, that's his problem."
I laughed, "True. Oh, my name is Madison Willis, by the way. Nice to meet you." I bowed to him like I did to others.
Shogun said, "Nice to meet you too. I need to go. Good-bye." He walked away, and went out of the Headquarters. I ruffled my hair again, and thought that this was really pointless. Oh well, I had nothing better to do today.
A while later, the Shinsengumi finally came back. I walked in front, and Hijikata asked, "Did you find out who it was?" I nodded my head. He asked again, "Who was it?"
"Shogun," I immediately answered. Hijikata stared at me with disbelief. Of course, I was serious, so I gave him a look.
He replied, "That's unusual." I decided not to tell Hijikata the reason why Shogun was stealing his bottles. Because then Hijikata would say something like 'I will not get sick'.
Hijikata waved his hand up and down at me, and told me, "Okay, you can go back now." I nodded my head, turning my back, and headed back to the Yorozuya place.
As I walked in the street, I looked up a little, and thought, Well, that was very odd.
I would hope that I wouldn't get into another pointless situation again.
Best to bring the Shinsengumi back, right? LOL Yes, this is very random. But I don't care.
Sorry if the Shogun is OOC, but I don't remember much of his character. ^^"
Anyways, hope you enjoyed chapter 29! Please review! :)
