What will Madison do in this chapter now? Enjoy!


A few hours since Sadaharu's problem was fixed, I took a small nap on the couch. I had this habit of taking naps in the daytime. But it was now almost 6:30. The only thing that I didn't like while taking naps was that whenever I got up, I would feel really tired. But maybe that's because napping is like sleeping.

I woke up from my nap, and rubbed my eyes since I felt a bit of water in them.

There, Kagura ran into the living room from the bathroom, and exclaimed to me with a cheer, "Madison-Chan! I know what we can do!"

"What?" I asked her, raising a brow up.

I was hoping that it wasn't about the puppies that were adopted earlier, because I didn't want Kagura to just hog the puppies from their owners.

But as she answered, "We should see a movie!" I was a bit surprised.

I now raised both brows up, and thought, A movie, huh? Well, I like going to the movies.

I gave out a chuckle just before replying to Kagura, "Alright. What movie's are playing now?"

She said, "Well, there's 'Coralone', 'Mokowara', and 'Suck my boors'!"

I tapped my chin for a bit, and said, "'Mokowara' sounds good. How about we see that?" I had a bad feeling that 'Suck my boors' was an adult film. But then again, why would the movie theater play adult films? That would be too weird.

Kagura grabbed her money, and I did the same thing. She then told Gintoki, "Gin-Chan! We're going to the movies!"

Gintoki picked his nose (He always does that!) with his index finger, and replied to Kagura in a dull tone, "Yeah, yeah. Have fun. Just be careful in the streets."

She pretty much ignored Gintoki because she had already grabbed me by the wrist, and started dashing out of his home. Of course, it did hurt, but not as bad. A few seconds later, I asked, "When does the movie start, by the way?"

"At seven," She answered with a smile on her face. I had a feeling that she was very excited to see the movie.

I asked her, "So are we going to see 'Mokowara'?"

"Of course! You suggested it!" She exclaimed.

My eyes blinked, and then my lips curved into a smile, making me giggle slightly. I stayed quiet for a little bit until we reached the movie theater.

Realizing that we were at least ten minutes early before the movie would start, Kagura asked me, "Wanna get some popcorn and gummy worms?"

I gave out another giggle, and answered, "Sure. But I'll just have gummy worms."

"Okay!" She bought the popcorn from the counter, and asked the worker politely, "Sir, can I have extra butter in my popcorn? I'm growing into an obsession with it."

The worker just laughed, and did what Kagura asked him to do. He informed her as he gave her the tub of popcorn, "Enjoy the show. Oh, and if you have too much butter in a little amount of time, you could get very sick."

"Yeah, yeah, grandpa. And enjoy the people bragging about the movies their in, uh-huh!" She walked away from the counter, already grabbing a handful of popcorn, and shoving it in her mouth. The counter gave her a pout, but didn't say anything.

I bought the gummy worms with my own money, and the other worker told me, "Enjoy the show." I smiled, and ran off with Kagura. There would still be another five minutes before the movie would actually start, so she and I just talked for a little bit. Seriously, a little bit.

Just when the movie was starting, Kagura continued to shove popcorn in her mouth. Was she obsessed with popcorn?

She needs to slow down, otherwise she'll get sick.

Unlike Kagura, I ate my gummy worms a bit slow. Because one, I love gummy worms too much; and two, I refuse to have a stomach ache.

When the lights in the theater were turning off, I knew that the movie was starting right away. Me, Kagura, and the rest of the people here, were quiet so that we could all enjoy watching 'Mokowara'. I wasn't that excited, but it was great to go to the theaters. Because I like watching movies at theaters than on t.v. or on DVD's.

Maybe a half an hour into the movie, there was a scene where a girl (Who was bald) was in the hospital for an illness. It wasn't that sad, because the scene also had a boy, who was some sort of comedian.

In the movie, the boy tried cheering up the girl, "Hey, Sora-Chan, look at me!" She looked at him, and saw that his fingers were in his mouth, and he bit all four of his fingers, looking like a big crazy maniac. The bald girl laughed anyways, because she liked this type of humor.

I, on the other hand, thought that he was the next wanna-be comedian. Kagura whispered to me, "Hey, Madison-Chan. Why does this remind me of Adam S*ndler?"

I looked at her, and shrugged. I replied, "I don't really know. But I don't like him."

"I see. Can't say I'm surprised though because all that guy makes is weird sounds, and weird faces."

"Couldn't agree more," I admitted while nodding my head.

At least there's no chaos in the theater.

After my thought, I, unfortunately, noticed that I was actually wrong.

When there was a scene where the girl was released from the hospital, Kagura and I heard some sort of sniff from another person. Nobody else was crying, plus the scene wasn't that sad, so I looked around, wondering who could possibly be crying at this moment.

Kagura did the same thing, and we found out who was crying.

"Eh? Hijikata Mayora Toshiro?" Kagura exclaimed in a whisper. I also saw Hijikata (Who was wearing 'regular' clothes), holding his face with his hand, crying.

Just as I thought. Hijikata does cry at unemotional scenes anyways.

I sighed just as Kagura got up from her seat, and walked over to Hijikata. I muttered, "Uh-oh." She wasn't hesitating. She wasn't even scared.

Kagura stopped as she was right beside Hijikata, and told him in her normal tone, "Oi, Mayora-San. This is no time to cry, so stop crying."

Hijikata noticed Kagura because he pulled his hand away from his eyes. He said to her in a low tone, "China girl...I can cry if I want to. You can't tell me what to do."

"Oh, can't I? Well, since you aren't in your Shinsengumi uniform, I can tell you to stop crying!"

He gave Kagura an angry glare, while a few tears were still in his eyes, and scolded her, "You do know that I'm part of the Shinsengumi. I could arrest you for assaulting a police officer."

Kagura gave out a pretty loud crackle laugh, and exclaimed at him, "How is that assaulting? I could call you a crybaby now!"

I wanted to stop Kagura before people would be angry at the two, but it was too late. Hijkata got up from his seat as well, and bumped his forehead onto Kagura's.

"Don't you dare call me a crybaby, you goddamn brat!" Hijikata exclaimed in an angry tone. "If you're going to keep calling me that, then let's have a duel!"

"With pleasure!" Kagura exclaimed as if she was ready to beat the shit out of him.

This was definitely not going to be good. We're gonna get kicked out before we even finish watching the movie!

One of the things that I hate while being in a theater is that people can distract others from watching the movie. And worse, they can get kicked out! And I didn't want to be alone in here if Kagura got kicked out. Because then, I wouldn't have anyone to talk to.

One person scolded the two arguers, "Hey! We're trying to watch the movie here! If you're going to fight, then take it outside!"

Hijikata and Kagura were easily distracted by each other. Hijikata pulled out his sword (Does he have to bring that with him everywhere?) and was about to fight Kagura. This was really going to get bad.

Kagura lifted her umbrella, and started hitting on his sword. "Take that, asshole!"

"Don't call me a crybaby then!" Hijikata shouted at her with an angry tone, even though he was smiling angrily.

A few more people were giving them glares, but they never paid attention to them. I covered my face with my hands because I felt very embarrassed for them, despite the fact that no one was looking at me.

This is so bad, this is so bad!

As I felt my face going hot, Hijikata told Kagura, "Well, China girl, why don't we stop, and continue this duel some other time? I just want to enjoy the movie, for gods sake!"

Kagura replied in a high voice, "So that you can cry more?" Hijikata glared at Kagura, but didn't say anything afterwards.

They finally stopped, but sadly, they said that they were going to continue this some other time. I really didn't want Kagura to be in such a huge mess. Not so sure about Hijikata since he likes to fight. But Kagura finally sat back down in her seat.

She patted her hand on my knee, and told me quietly, "Madison-Chan. Is something the matter?" I lifted my head up, with my face still feeling hot, and looked at Kagura in the eyes.

I told her with a cracked smile, "Nothing, it's just that I don't want you to get into trouble when we're in the movie theater!"

"You're right, I'm sorry. But I didn't expect Hijikata to be here, so yeah."

I gave her a small smile, and thought, I hope she won't fight him in here again.

There, we watched the rest of the movie, uninterrupted and undisturbed.

Over an hour later, it was finally over. When Kagura and I were walking out of the theater, she noticed Hijikata, and gave him a glare. Hijikata glared at her back, but didn't bother to fight again.

I told Kagura, "You really need to watch it, Kagura-Chan. I mean, Hijikata is the vice-chief of the Shinsengumi. So if you keep making fun of him, he will arrest you."

Kagura gave out a chuckle, and replied, "Don't worry, Madison-Chan. I know what I'm doing."

I shook my head while making a weak smile.

It wasn't that great seeing Hijikata since he's always cranky, but I can't say I didn't expect him to be in the theater. Hell, Gintoki could've been there, and would want to fight Hijikata too! But he did that once, and they were asked to leave the theater.

Kagura asked me out of the blue, "Did you like the movie, though?"

I turned my head to see her. I then answered honestly, "It was good, but not great. I mean, there were a few parts in the movie that were a bit confusing."

"I understand. I couldn't really understand either. Maybe we should've seen 'Suck my boors'."

I waved my hand up and down at her, and said, "No, I believe 'Mokowara' would be better than that."

Kagura probably didn't hear what I said because she exclaimed, "I'll race you to Gin-Chan's house!"

Before I could say anything, she already dashed off. I sighed, and had no choice but to run as well. For the truth, I didn't want to race, but Kagura never gave me the chance to tell her that. Oh well, shit happens.

I forced my feet to run, but sadly, I wasn't such a runner. Walking was a whole different story. Seconds after I started, I was already panting! Jeez, why did Kagura have to be faster than I was?

Dammit Kagura, I nearly lost you!

I finally arrived at Gintoki's place, but Kagura told me, "You lose!"

I exclaimed at her, "You didn't even let me get to talk! I didn't want to race, but you took a head start!"

She blinked her blue eyes, and realized that I was right. She scratched the back of her head, and said, "Sorry."

I sighed, and went inside the home of Gintoki's. Gintoki was reading JUMP, but he noticed us coming in. He said, "Glad you got back before it was completely dark out."

I was glad too.

I took my shoes off as I was going to sit on the couch. My body felt hot since I was running, catching up to Kagura.

My hand felt my forehead, and I realized, Almost everyday, interesting things have happened. I wonder what will happen tomorrow?


Again, I had this idea in my head for the past few chapters, but I never figured out exactly when to write this...until now. XD And yes, Hijikata cries at unemotional scenes. Oh, and for those who forgot (I nearly forgot myself. ^^"), tomorrow is Hijikata's birthday! So in case I forget, happy birthday, Hijikata-San! :D

5 more facts about Madison!

1) She doesn't really like the show Family Guy. She says that it has sick characters in it, plus she hates how everyone hates Meg (Come on, why hate her?).

2) Madison can't decide who her most favorite actor is. She has too many favorites!

3) She's not a fan of wolves (Simply because they can be dangerous unless they're trained well to behave.), but she loves the colors on them.

4) One drink she hates is Diet Cola. She just hates it in general.

5) Madison prefers English subs over English dubs because she thinks dubs sound bad (She isn't overreacting, really.).

And hope you enjoyed chapter 38! Please review! :)
