Something's wrong with Sadaharu, but Madison and the Yorozuya will find out what the problem is! Enjoy!


After Shinpachi hung up the phone, giving us a surprised look, he said, "I think...this has something to do with Sadaharu."

I looked over to the so-called dog named Sadaharu, and saw him leaned down, covering his eyes with his paws. All he did left was give out a small cry.

Kagura went over to comfort him. She petted his fur and said, "I wonder what's wrong with Sadaharu?"

Shinpachi told the rest of us, "Well, the called told me where she lives. And she wants us to go see her right away."

On the other hand, Gintoki picked his nose as usual. He said in a low tone, "Why right away? Is it important?"

"Actually, Gin-San. It is. The caller might be worried. Come on, we should go so that she won't wonder what's taking us so long."

I blinked, and gave out a cracked smile. I agreed to Shinpachi, "He's right. We should go right now." I managed to clean up the entire mess of strawberry milk (The one where Gintoki was holding it, but Kagura kicked it out of his hands). I then put the towel with the rest of the dirty laundry in one of the rooms.

Everyone put their shoes on, and began to dash out the door. Of course, this wasn't a race or anything, but the caller did tell us to be there as soon as possible. Kagura jumped on Sadaharu, but he still looked worried. I had no idea what he was worried about, but I believed that we were going to find out very soon.

Kagura asked me, "Do you wanna ride on Sadaharu too?"

I looked up to Kagura, and answered, "I guess I could ride him. Although I've never ridden on animals like these before."

"Hold onto me then," She chuckled with a smile.

I tapped my chin, but thought, Maybe it'll be fun riding on Sadaharu.

I gave her a shrug just before I hopped onto the so-called dog. There, I was behind Kagura, and she gave me another smile as soon as she noticed me. She was sitting in a position where it was sideways. I, on the other hand, just put each leg of mine on each side of Sadaharu.

We were all quiet and didn't say anything until we reached the place we were looking for. Well, Shinpachi knew where it was since he was the one who answered the phone because Gintoki and Kagura were fighting.

As we were in front of the person's home, Shinpachi rang the doorbell, and we waited for the woman to come out.

Seconds later, the woman finally opened the door. As soon as she saw us, she sighed, and said with a smile, "Good, you're here."

Before any of the Yorozuya members could speak, I asked for them, "Is there a problem, ma'am?"

She answered, "Sort of. I...I would like you all to come in. Including that 'dog' of yours."

Gintoki blinked his eyes, and asked her idiotically as he pointed at Sadaharu, "Even him? I'm sorry, miss, but he'll just crap in here, and I know you won't like that!"

Sadaharu gave Gintoki a mad look, and then bit his whole hand (Sadaharu's big, what do people expect?). Gintoki have out a scream.

"GAAH! YOU STUPID DOG! GET THE HELL OFF MY HAND!"

It was already obvious that Gintoki was in a lot of pain. Hell, he and the rest of the Yorozuya were bitten on the head.

The woman said, "I really think that 'dog' should come in as well."

I didn't want Gintoki to be in anymore pain, so I ordered Sadaharu, "Sadaharu, let go of Gin's hand!" Immediately, he opened his mouth, letting go of Gintoki. Wow, I did not expect Sadaharu to do that. He just gave out another small cry as he lowered his head.

Gintoki rubbed his hand non-stop, and exclaimed, "Damn, that hurt!"

The woman allowed us to come in. Kagura and I jumped off of Sadaharu, while Gintoki and Shinpachi led the way in. Amazingly, Sadaharu could actually fit through the door.

Shinpachi asked her, "So what's the problem?"

She answered, "Well-" but was interrupted by herself. "Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't get to introduce myself! Silly me. My name is Tsubi Wakoto. I live alone here."

I smiled and thought, What a pretty name.

Tsubi returned to the problem she had. "Anyways, it's not a huge problem, but I...just don't know what to do."

"Spit it out already," Gintoki told her as he picked his nose with his pinkie. "You don't need to feel ashamed."

She opened a door, where it revealed a dog, and four puppies. I opened my eyes widely, and squealed a bit inside. Well, Kagura did the same thing.

Tsubi said, "Yes, they are cute. But look closely."

We obeyed her, and looked as closely as possible. I blinked, and noticed that two of the pups looked like Sadaharu. And the other looked like their mother. The pups looked like they were about two weeks old.

Kagura opened her eyes widely in major surprise, but exclaimed, "Oh my god, puppies that look like Sadaharu-Chan~! They're so cute! Can I pick one up?"

Tsubi nodded. "You may, but be gentle with them."

"I will."

Kagura carefully picked up a Sadaharu-like puppy, and held it closely to her chest. She the kissed its head softly, and whispered, "Sadaharu Jr. You are too adorable."

Tsubi and I gave out a chuckle, and I said, "You want one, don't you, Kagura-Chan?"

She looked up to me, raising her brows up. She answered, "Actually, I don't. I already have enough responsibility for Sadaharu. Plus, I don't want to hurt and kill these puppies." I knew what she meant. It meant that she used to have pets, who were also named Sadaharu since she named them (Why only 'Sadaharu'?), but she hugged them so tightly, that she killed them. She did have a point there.

I nodded my head, and replied, "I guess you're right. But you look so happy just by hugging the puppies gently."

Tsubi explained before Kagura could say anything, "I found out about the 'relationship' of my dog and Sadaharu a few months ago. But since my dog wasn't fixed yet, it would make sense that she would mate. However, knowing that Sadaharu is a big dog, I was getting concerned about the puppies."

"What do you mean, exactly?" I asked her as I raised a brow up.

She continued, "I knew the puppies were going to be small when they were born, but the puppies that look like your dog, I realized that they're going to grow as big as him. And I don't want dogs this big. So I want to have these puppies up for adoption, but I'm not exactly sure how to do it. Will you help me?"

She looked at the four of us, and gave us a worried look. Kagura furrowed her brows, looking like she felt bad for her. Kagura set the puppy down, and told her, "We'll help you. It won't be that hard, really."

Tsubi gave us a smile, and bowed down, saying, "Thank you very much, Yorozuya."

Shinpachi said with a grin, "Anytime, Tsubi-Chan."

Gintoki was out for a few moments, but was back with a small box in his hand. Everyone, including me, noticed the box, and Kagura asked him, "Oi, Gin-Chan. What's with that ugly looking thing?"

He told her, "First off, it's a box, Kagura-Chan. Second, we'll put these puppies in this box, and write on the box 'Free puppies for adoption'. Does that make sense?"

I gave out a chuckle, and answered before Kagura, "I was just thinking the same thing."

"The let's get to it."

Tsubi gave us another warm smile just before saying, "Thank you again, Yorozuya. I should've thought about this earlier, but at least I got your help."

"We're glad to help. Now...do you have a sharpie here somewhere?" Shinpachi asked, turning his head from left to right.

She blinked her eyes, and answered, "I believe it's in my room. I'll be right back." She walked to her room, searching for a black sharpie that we could use. Tsubi muttered, "It must be here somewhere." I walked to her room, listening to her mutter and such.

Moments later, she finally found it. "Aha!" She exclaimed with cheer. She then ran out of her room, and told us, "Now we can write on the box!"

Gintoki immediately grabbed the box, and started to write (Obviously in Japanese). Then, when he finished writing it, it said, 'Puppies for adoption. Please adopt them, but they will grow up big. Just warning you.'

As I read that, I gave out a chuckle, and complimented Gintoki, "Not bad."

"Thanks," He laughed.

Kagura suggested, "Let's put these puppies in this box, so that their butts won't be so dirty!"

Gintoki corrected Kagura, "Kagura-Chan. Their butts aren't dirty. Until now, their mother cleaned them so that they wouldn't get so filthy."

"You mean the mamma licks their butts for them? Gross!" She stuck her tongue out, giving him a disgusted look. Tsubi and I laughed at her comment because it was pretty funny.

Soon after, Shinpachi and I put each of the four puppies in the box. I blinked, and asked Shinpachi, "Shinpachi? Are you sure it's okay for the puppies to be up for adoption at two weeks old?"

Before Shinpachi could answer, Tsubi came up to us, and said, "When they were born, they were very small. But now, they're three times the size! And besides, they just started to eat solid food."

I thought it was pretty weird, but then again, she sort of had a point (Even though puppies weren't really supposed to be adopted until they were at least a month and a half old).

Not long after, two people looked at the puppies, and picked two up. I was surprised that they were adopted already.

I muttered to myself, "See ya, puppies." I waved at them as they looked like they were sleeping on their new owners' shoulders. I just smiled as Kagura sniffed in happiness.

"This is so sweet!" She said in a high tone.

I patted her shoulder just as Gintoki shouted at us, "Oi! We need to get going!"

We turned around, and I shouted back, "Coming!" I pulled Kagura's wrist, and we were back to Gintoki, Shinpachi and Sadaharu in a matter of seconds.

Tsubi once again bowed to us, and said, "Thank you so much for helping me. This whole thing felt really quick."

Shinpachi replied to Tsubi, "Don't worry, Tsubi-Chan. If you have a request, just ask us!"

She gave out a chuckle as she said, "Well, bye!" The four of us were walking away, waving at her.

Kagura and I were on Sadaharu again, and he didn't look worried anymore. I asked him, "Sadaharu? Were you crying because you thought we would hate you?"

He gave out a whimper, so it seemed like I was right.

I told him, "Don't worry. We don't hate you. In fact, I think you're a good dog. Unless you bite people. But I doubt you'll stop biting Gintoki."

Gintoki turned his head to me, and shouted, "HEY! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY 'DON'T BITE GINTOKI'! ARE YOU BETRAYING ME?"

I just rolled my eyes, and thought, He should know that Sadaharu will never stop biting, even if I tell Sadaharu to stop.

We were on our way back to the Yorozuya place, but Shinpachi was going home. He waved at us, and said, "I'll see you guys later! I'm going to cook up dinner for Otae and Kyubei!"

I waved back at Shinpachi as he was going home. I was glad that Otae wouldn't cook dinner because once people eat her cooking, they'll throw up, and get amnesia. Actually, I heard that Shinpachi ate it once, and I was surprised he didn't get amnesia.

Maybe it was just a miracle.


I know, this is a shorter chapter, but I hope you liked this chapter anyways! :)

How could Sadaharu be a father, by the way? Wouldn't that be really weird? :O Oh, and this reminds me of that episode in Gintama where Hasegawa's robot dog humped a real dog. XD

5 more facts about Madison!

1) She skipped the second grade because her teachers said that she was the smartest. No joke. And her sister skipped the first grade for the same reason. It really is in their blood.

2) Sometimes she's goes hyper at the wrong time. She once drank a whole can of an energy drink, and that's what caused her hyper-ness.

3) Besides great-grandparents, she hasn't really lost a relative.

4) She doesn't care if she makes a lot of friends: she's got Amanda. Enough said.

5) Her sister, Gabriela, teases her about guys at least once in a while. Gabriela isn't that mean to her older sister.
