Uh-Oh. Madison has found Takasugi, and now she's in a "closet" with him! What will he do to her? Enjoy!
Angelbott: Well, I'm not a huge fan of villains and such, but Takasugi and Kamui are acceptions. But Takasugi will always be my favorite hot male in Gintama. *Perverted smile* ;)
The closet drew my attention, and I went in it, just for curiosity. Boy, did I make a huge mistake there.
Somehow, I have found Takasugi Shinsunke in this so-called closet, and when I was scared as hell, he whispered in my ear, "Looks like you came to the party after all."
I was frightened. Frightened as if I was going to die. But was he going to kill me? Well, I never know.
He loosened me, but I gripped my sickle tightly, and asked him in a low tone, "What're you doing here?"
Takasugi gave out a chuckle as he answered, "I miss going to parties, you know what I mean?"
"No, I'm asking why you came to this bar."
"Well, young lady, I came here to destroy this bar. Even though I do plan on destroying Edo, I may start off with this bar."
I blinked in confusion, and asked in with a bit of anger, "Why?"
"Why, you ask?" He said with an evil chuckle. "Because lots of men go here, and I would love to see blood come out of them."
I clenched my teeth as I thought, What the hell's wrong with him?
He grabbed my wrist, and asked me as if I didn't know already, "Remember what I did to you last time we met?"
My eyes widen in shock, and I had a flashback of when he "kidnapped" me. True, Kagura saved me, but I was still scared to meet Takasugi again. Now, I was looking at him in the eyes, and from what I saw, he had the eyes of a monster. A monster that likes to kill, no matter who it is, strong or weak. And despite me having a sickle in my hand, I could feel myself shaking from fear.
Takasugi noticed my hand shaking, and began to laugh. He said, "Are you afraid?"
I wanted to shout, but I couldn't. I continued to give him an angry look as I replied with a growl, "Like hell I am!"
"Is that so?" He turned around, and creaked open the sliding door. As soon as he did that, he pulled my wrist, and forced me to look through the creak while many people were still partying.
Takasugi pointed at something, or someone, and said, "And it looks like Mayumi-Chan came as well." When he said 'Mayumi', my eyes widened in terror.
Mayumi did tell me that she escaped from Takasugi's ship a while ago, and she does have fear in her, but she still has a small crush on Takasugi.
I was in panic. I certainly didn't want Takasugi to go up to Mayumi, and try to fight her, otherwise Mayumi would obviously be scared.
The one-eyed male said in a low tone, "I haven't seen her in so long. Maybe I should go say 'hello' to her." He gave out a chuckle, and was about to put his head-cover on, and go out of the "closet", but I refused to let him scare Mayumi.
So I swung my sickle, and positioned the blade right in front of Takasugi's face. It was very close to him, but he didn't flinch. I wasn't surprised at that because he was a dangerous criminal, and he could kill another human being without hesitation, and sometimes without warning.
He stopped for a second, and turned his head very slowly, looking at me in the eyes. I warned him with a glare coming from my face, "Don't you dare try."
He curved the corner of his lips, and formed a smirk while narrowing his eyes at me. The purple-haired samurai asked as if it weren't already obvious, "My, you don't want your friend to get hurt?"
"Don't make me repeat myself."
All Takasugi did was give out a chuckle. He then told me, "Did Mayumi-Chan tell you the story of when I took her into my ship, and held her prisoner."
"She did," I replied. "And I'm not letting that happen to her again."
He lifted his hand up, and touched the blade of my sickle with his index finger, feeling the smooth touch to it. He asked without looking at me, "You're going to try to protect Mayumi, my old friend?"
I had found out that I was in my dark side, because my body felt slightly different than from a few minutes ago. For Takasugi saying that Mayumi was his old friend, I had major disbelief.
I asked back, "How could you be friends with her if you kept her prisoner?" The blade of my sickle was still inches in front of Takasugi's face. I didn't want him to create chaos in this bar, especially when we were just having a party.
Takasugi brought out another chuckle just as he was touching the top of my blade. "She actually liked to hang out with me. Even towards Bansai. And speaking of Bansai, I told him that I once took you to my ship."
I opened my eyes widely once again, and thought loudly in my head, You better stay away from Mayumi! Just god knows what could happen if she saw you again!
I made a bit of a smile, but it wasn't a joyful smile, obviously. I said to the samurai, "I could care less on who you told, I just want you to stay away from Mayumi!"
"Do you care about the girl that much?" He asked as he stared at me with a cold expression.
I wasn't affected by his expression, but I will admit, I was getting a bit scared, even when I was trying to be brave towards the most dangerous criminal in Edo.
Trying not to show my fear, I told him, "I do. She's my friend. An actual friend who makes Mayumi happy."
"What do you mean, child? I sometimes make her happy as well."
"Enough with your bullshit! I'm not letting you take Mayumi again!"
He kept staring at me as he replied in a rhetorical question, "How many times are you going to say that? Honestly, she can't win in a fight with me."
A drop of sweat was coming down my face, and as I was about to speak again, he pushed the handle of my sickle, and walked closer to me. My heart was beating from fear, and I couldn't blink because of how scared I was. I was really hoping that he wouldn't kill me, because I didn't want my family and friends to wonder where I was. Well, my family is still worried about me because I got sucked into the Gintama world.
I continued to knit my brows as I exclaimed, "Just because you're dangerous in Edo, doesn't mean you get to try to scare the hell out of my friend!"
He chuckled, "But I like scaring her."
Right there, he was about an inch in front of me. Too many thoughts were going through my mind, and I wanted to know what the hell he was going to do.
Mayumi, I'll protect you! I won't let you see Takasugi here!
He lifted my chin up, and whispered in front of my face, "Don't try to fight me here. You wouldn't want to cause a scene now, would you?" I blinked, and realized that he was actually right. I wouldn't want to cause chaos in Otae's bar, plus I didn't want the others to know that Takasugi Shinsuke was here.
Both Gintoki and Kagura would be furious, but I knew that Gintoki would be more angry than Kagura, and Mayumi would be in a panic if she knew. So I tried my best to not fight him, yet there was an urge for me to do it.
But it didn't stop me from gripping my sickle so tightly. When he whispered one more comment, sweat was now coming down my face.
"Next time you and your friends see me, there will be a chaotic fight going on."
He let go of my chin, and put his head-cover back on. He told me in his normal tone, "I know you're afraid. And so is Mayumi-Chan." He opened the sliding door, and managed to get out without anyone being suspicious of him.
Just when I saw him go out the front door, leaving the bar for good, my legs trembled, and I fell to the ground (On my butt). My eyes still couldn't blink.
"There will be a chaotic fight going on"? What is that supposed to mean?
The words he told me didn't really make much sense. My hands began to clench as I closed my eyes half-way. I then decided to get out of this "closet" and get back to my friends before they wonder what's taking me so long.
So I stood up slowly, and began to walk out with my sickle still in my sweaty hand. Yep, even my hands were sweating.
When I was finally out of that "closet", I cleared my throat up, and walked back to Kagura and Mayumi.
The two of them saw me, and Mayumi gave me a sweet smile.
She exclaimed, "There you are, Madison-Chan! I was this close to come looking for you!"
I blinked my brown eyes at the younger girl, and gave her a smile back. I replied to Mayumi, "Now you don't have to." She chuckled.
I knew that I could not tell Mayumi that I had just met Takasugi again. As I said before, it would obviously scare her. I couldn't tell Kagura either, because otherwise she would have fury in her body. So I didn't tell them. I just kept my mouth shut.
Kagura asked me bluntly, "Where did you go anyway, Madison-Chan?"
I turned my head to look at Kagura, and stared at her for a moment. I knew that I was hesitating, but I had to think of something quick before they would realize something bad happened. Well, it wasn't that bad, but it was definitively not good.
I answered Kagura's question, "I went to the bathroom...and wanted to get away from the crowded area for just a few minutes."
"Ah, I see." Kagura took another sip of the soda that she was drinking, and continued, "By the way, what happened to your cup of soda?"
Immediately, I told her, "I accidentally dropped it, and people were kicking the cup, so I didn't bother finding it."
"That makes sense. After all, a party basically means that it'll get crowded, uh-huh."
Mayumi began to speak with a sigh. "Sadly, Kagura-Chan's right."
I nodded my head in agreement, and decided to get a different plastic cup. I poured myself some more Sierra Mist, and the first sip I took was a big one. But I made a mistake there. I accidentally inhaled the soda in my throat, and I began to cough, with some soda coming out of my mouth.
Both Kagura and Mayumi opened their eyes widely, and the two of them were getting away from me so that soda wouldn't get on their clothes. Fortunately, no soda got on them.
Mayumi exclaimed, "Whoa, Madison! Are you okay?"
I made a fist, and hit my chest multiple times before replying to the younger girl, "Yeah, I'm okay. I just inhaled while drinking."
"I hate it when that happens."
"Same here."
That does happen to me sometimes. I can inhale while drinking any drink (Except alcohol, obviously), and not even realize it. It sucks, but it can happen to anybody.
Anyways, I took a few more small sips of the Sierra Mist, and looking around, the three of us saw a group of men throw up in garbage cans. I was just glad they didn't throw up on the floor. Otherwise it would not look pretty. And I would bet that Otae would beat the crap out of them.
The time was now 11:48 p.m. The party was just about over because a few people were heading out of the bar, going home, hopefully.
Otae handed out a broom to Kyubei, and asked her, "Kyu-Chan, would you mind sweeping in that area?" She pointed at a spot on the floor.
Kyubei shook her head and answered with a smile, "I don't mind. I'd do anything for you, Otae-Chan." It was not surprising that her cheeks were pink. It was because she was gay for her! But it's not like I'm against gays, in fact, I'm not a sexist.
Gintoki landed hand on my shoulder, and asked me as he was picking his nose, "You ready to go?"
I looked up to the adult, and nodded my head with a gentle smile. Of course, I couldn't forget that I saw and met Takasugi again.
I'm just glad Takasugi didn't kill me!
I gave out a sigh of relief as Kagura nudged her arm against mine. When I looked into her eyes, she gave me a smile while closing her eyes. Mayumi did the same thing, only she said, "Well, I'm going home. It was nice coming to this party."
"Same here," Kagura replied to Mayumi.
My smile was a bit bigger because I really did have a good time, aside from meeting Takasugi.
Gintoki, Shinpachi, Kagura and I walked out of the bar, going back to the Yorozuya place just as Mayumi waved at the four of us. We waved back, and were continuing to walk. Gintoki scratched the back of his head while Shinpachi just showed a cheerful expression.
"Wasn't that a nice party?" Shinpachi asked the rest of us.
Gintoki waved his hand up and down, and answered, "It was good, except it was pretty loud."
"Right, but at least everyone was having a good time."
"That's true, Shinpachi. But the part where people were puking...that was disgusting."
I made a cracked smile at him, and thought, That was pretty nasty.
But I also answered Shinpachi's question in some sort of cheerful tone, "I liked the party. The soda was good as well."
"I'm glad you guys enjoyed it," Shinpachi said with a smile on his face.
I looked up at the dark sky, and gave myself a warm smile. And since the sky was clear, I could also see lots of stars. It looked so beautiful that I didn't want to stop looking at it. However, I still had to watch out, in case I would most likely bump into something.
So I looked straight again, and felt a chilling breeze on my face.
It was a cool night, and I was glad Mayumi also came with us.
Phew! Now was THAT a close one? XD Yay, Takasugi didn't hurt Madison! And thank god Mayumi didn't see him, because then she would really be scared! Well, Madison was the only one who knew he was there.
