Good decision comes from Experience and Experience come from Bad decision.

Always go with the choice that scares you the most, because that is the one that will help you grow

Shinpachi's POV

Gin-san is badly injured, Kagura is missing, Sadaharu's sketch is not readable because it rained, I can't find Elizabeth so I had no choice but to ask help from the Shinsengumi. I know this will be bad if they saw Katsura they will help us but they will also try to get Katsura and Gin-san will be mad and it will create a big chaos, but I have no choice.

I go to Shinsengumi headquarters and asked for Kondo-san's presence, Hijikata-san and Okita-san is also in the room where Kondo-san is and ask me what happen? why do I look distress. I told them all the detailed story and ask help to find Kagura and Katsura, I don't believe that Katsura-san is dead, they also don't believe in that and they said it was part of their new investigation, there is a man named Nizo a self proclaim manslayer and I also told them what Elizabeth told me that Katsura is investigating about the cursed sword named benizakura and an unknown group is now trying to produce more sword like benizakura to destroy the government, Okita-san said that sword is dangerous when he is patrolling at night some manslayer attack him saying he is just trying his new sword called benizakura and the sword is not just an ordinary cursed sword but that sword is -san ask if Gin-san is okay and I said yes he just need to rest, Kondo-san ask Yamazaki to investigate and report as soon as possible. Kondo-san promise me that they will find Kagura and Katsura.

I went outside of the headquartes and go to where we are last night I saw Elizabeth dress like what Katsura's outfit is I approach him and said I'll join them because Kagura is also missing, Elizabeth said that I go to the rebels ship, while they are preparing for back up.

Takasugi's POV

You killed Zura? I asked calmly with a deadly voice

Nizo: Who the hell is Zura?

Katsura Kotaro, the Runaway Kotaro the general of the Joui

Nizo: Yes I killed him, he's not good enough I wonder why he's a general he can't even injured me. I also injured the Shiroyasha. I will be your new comrade

Hmm... Clean up your mess you are still not part of Kiheitai, and remember you killed the General so the comrade will come to your head.

Nizo: I took Katsura's hair and smell it again, his hair is so addicting. This is Katsura's hair I don't think he's a man, he takes care of his hair like a girl, his hair smelled like a cherry its so smooth.

When I heared that I attack Nizo but he block it.

Nizo: Oh you have a same reaction and expression with the Shiroyasha

Never said that I am your comrade, and if you don't clean this mess, I will kill you

Gintoki's POV

I need to save the kids and I need to kill that Nizou bastard, I get up and saw that the client's sister is here, maybe she will say something about that demonic sword. She talked and said that it was his brother's a man named Takasugi, when I heared that name my body froze, I will never forgive you Takasugi. I returned the money with a letter saying wait for me at the shop. When she got out I ask Otae to buy me a new jumo manga and when she left I got out and ready myself I saw that Otae ready my things woth an umbrella and a note saying return it to her. When we met at the shop she gave me a sword that she made its not as strong as benizakura but it can be use better than my wooden sword. I really need to hurry, when we are at the port we saw Zura's duck and the joui they will also after the ship where benizakura is.

Katsura's pov

I place all the bomb and set the timer to 5 mins, I was in Elizabeth's costume, Elizabeth and the rest of the joui never know my plan, I don't want them get involve but when I saw that the other Joui came and attack takasugi's ship. I ready my sword, I walk outside and I see Shinpachi and Leader what are they doing here? I need to save them. When I save them I sense a presence at the back of me, I know that demonic presence its from Takasugi. He attack me good thing I bend down, So he really plan on killing me all this time I though he's a friend, a comrade, a classmate I guess its only me who think like that

Takasugi: Oi,oi when did this turned out to be a costume party? this place isnt for brats

I'm not brat, I'm Katsuraaaa, I launch an attck to him and it hit his chess, I saw a familiar green book, the same book I and Gintoki has

Your still carrying that thing Takasugi? I took my own book in my kimono, I guess we are both idiot still holding our past.

Takasugi: So that thing save you from the benizakura?

No, Your stupid comrade is so excited that he didnt check if I was alive, he just cut my hair, maybe he's jealous because I have a beautiful hair. He's an Idiot assasin.

Takasugi: So, are you here for revenge? or ask me if I sent him to kill you?

I already heared and realize it Takasugi, It doesnt matter anymore, but I can't stay quiet with what are you trying to do. So I came back to hell and stop your idiotic plan, the bomb already timed and exploid, I'm sorry but your ambition will be sinking in the botton of the sea.

Takasugi: Zura... I know if your alive, you will stop me, your always the one who tried to stop me with my act, but now I will not let you stop me, Kiheitai kill Katsura

I cannot die until I see the dawn of Edo. If I leave Edo a bunch of idiot devil like you will attack it.

We fight and then Elizabeth and my Joui came and Takasugi, the girl and the lollicon left I need to go after them! after Takasugi but I cannot left my comrades.

Katsura-san go follow him but don't take too long this time, Elizabeth wrote in his signboard I thank Elizabeth and follow Takasugi, the yorozuya kids also followed I ask them that I cannot face Gintoki if anything happens to them and they said that they also can't face Gintoki if something happened to me. I let them followed me I promised I will treat them food and anything they want. Lollicon and the Girl Matako came, the yorozuya kids said that they will be the one to fight and I need to do my business so we can all go home. I ask them to be careful and meet me later

I trust the kids they are strong enough. When I see Takasugi he is sitting in the edge of ship.

Takasugi: Zura look over there, he is here, Gintoki is here. Looks like he will fight with benizakura. He's still an idiot.

I look up and saw that Gintoki and the assasin are fighting, I trust Gintoki will not die because of benizakura, Gintoki doesnt move as a human but as a Shiroyasha he fight with only with instict, but when I saw the assasin whos holding the benizakura I know he will die because the sword is eating him, he's in too much pain. I look at Takasugi and said that the man will die, but takasugi just smirk and said that he doesnt care. It doesnt matter to me whos my comrade or friend or not If they are in my way I have no choice but to kill them. Your using people like a puppet I said, Takasugi only look at the ocean.

Takasugi, I hate you. I've always hate you in the past since sensei died, and I still do hate you, but I always considered you as a comrade both you and Gintoki bring so much hurt to me. In the past and still now... When did our paths begin to diverge?

Takasugi: We start at the same starting point but even then, we have already our different plans in the future. I have not change at that time, the future I am seeing has not changed back then. Zura for me I coudnt care less about this country, this world took my future Shoyou sensei, we must fight against this world Zura, you and Gintoki has more reason to destroy this world. both of you lost your parents in this world and the only person who accepted you is none other than sensei, the one who doesnt live you alone is him, how do you live in such a carefree manner Zura? I hate it to the bone... Zura come with me and lets destroy this rotten world.

Takasugi I have lost count of number of times I wanted to destroy this world so it could be reborn, but he's ... Gintoki is still enduring it, he who should hate the world more than any of us, but he's still fighting, he's still smiling like an idiot. I no longer wish to destroy the country, I will change it I will change it to a better, I've already fond of too many peopleto set this world aflame. Right now you dont have desire to use your sword to attack or kill me, If you are dissatisfied with this world then go ahead and destroy it, but if you plan on all the lives in Edo, I will not stand by and watch you. I'll be the one to destroy you, theres more other way to change the country without too much sacrifice. I'm sure that what Shoyou sensei want.

after I said that the amantos came I look at Takasugi

Takasugi: Zura its hard to convince Amanto to team up with me, so I need to use you as a bait thank you Zura for being a foolish stupid idiot. I'll be presenting you head as a gift to them you know in amanto your head is much higher price than mine. General of Joui.

Takasugi I shouted

Takasugi: Zura, I told you didn't I, My only wish is to destroy this rotten world. I don't care about you anymore you will never stop me just like before.

The shinsengumi also came but they ar still in their ship they are still far but I can see them. The Harusame ship came with alots of amanto. Now I'm really in a bad mood.

I go back to where Elizabeth is I need to protect my people.

I shealth my sword and fight. Get lost, get out of my way I'm not in a best mood right now. I saw Gintoki and the kids I'm glad they are okay but I need to think as a General. I trust Gintoki can still fight while the shinsengumi are approaching the joui needs to get out of here.

Katsura-san give us your order? my comrade ask

Retreat.

the kids and also some of the Joui protest saying they will fight too

Our main goal is to destroy the benizakura, its already destroyed, there will be a ship go there before the Shinsengumi come and arrest you guys.

The first to to act is Elizabeth as expected she's matured enough, she get the two kids and the other joui followed her. Only me, Gintoki and the amantos came. I saw Takasugi in the other ship only watching while smilling.

Gintoki: Zura I thought you died whats with that hair? did someone dump you

Shut up Gintoki I'm not in the mood right now.

The amantos attack and so we did, we killed a lots of amanto more than this, We need to finish this as fast as we can, the shinsengumi is approaching and Gintoki is not in a good shape he needs to rest his wounds and injury are all deep. I remember Takasugi.

Gintoki this world doesnt end up the way we wanted. Just changing a friend's mind is tough, forget about changing the country

Gintoki: Zura when did you start to have a friend like that? Your imagining things

Gintoki... I called him

What Zura where in the middle of fight Gintoki said

You better not change again, It seems that cutting you would required a bit of effort. I'd rather not want to do it.

Gintoki: Zura... If you change, I'll be the first to cut you down

We both look at Takasugi who is just smirking and watching us

Takasugi this is how it is, the next time we meet we will no longer friends, we're do everything we can to bring you down. we both said

Gintoki: Just pray that you will never run against us again specially to Zura ... You better watch out

We both jump in the ship and I open my costumize parachute, Gintoki hug my waist thightly and ask if I'm Lupin

I said that Its Zura not Lupin, no Its katsuraa...

This is better before the ship of shinsengumi came we already escape.

Gintoki I didnt expect Takasugi still carrying our book, At the begining we are all the same yet we've grown so far apart... Gintoki still remember this book?

Gintoki: Yeah I threw it.

Tagasugi POV

Both Gintoki and Zura escaped, My kiheitai help get the other amanto before the shinsengumi came.

I look at both Gintoki and Zura they were already so far, Sorry Zura but you can never change my mind. Hate me all you want that is much better. I will destroy all the bad amanto for you.

Shinsengumi came and hmm they look strong but still not strong enough. They had a megaphone and ask us to surrender.

I laugh at them, the boy with brown hair fire us using his bazooka.

I go near their ship I jump and destroy the bazooka.

Some of their men step backward. Hmm so this is Zura's enemy in edo. I need to talk to them

I distant my self and talk

You know me right? I originally hold the Joui rebel Katsura's holding right now, he is not the real terrorist but its me. I blackmailed him using his greatest fear and trauma so he had no choice but to comply. You know my comrade also tried to kill him thats why the White Demon came and killed my know who I was talking right? I see them gulped I told them its the famous Shiroyasha

This is only my piece of advice I smirk and say Don't try to capture Katsura Kotarou he's my general, he's the key to save your rotten world from me and when he's captured or in he's in danger. I will go back to earth to kill and destroy each and everyone of you and bring the hell. and the Shiroyasha will gone crazy.

And you still don't know the reason why Zura called as the Noble youth of madness and why he's our general and lasted the war for 5 years. Don't wake up the sleeping demon don't try to provoke him. after I said that

I left them some tried to chase me but Bansai already hold them in his string and killed them I ask Bansai that we will leave. He followed me.

Hijikata's POV

Takasugi and some of the Harusame Pirates left. I can't believe my hands is shaking when he got here in our ship. That bastard he's much scarier than Katsura but why he is saying that Katsura is much more feared?

Kondo:Toshi ordered them to investigate that ship

I asked Yamazaki to invest and report everything in details

Sougo: I guess I want to fight with Katsura.

Kondo: Sougo don't ever try that man takasugi is not joking, if we captured Katsura the Shiroyasha, the Kiheitai Commander and the Dragon of Katsurahama will come after us and they will try to rescue their general. They will bring an end to Edo. No one never know who are they but only Katsura the noble youth of madness and the general of the 4 heavenly kings and Takasugi the Kiheitai Commander is what we know but I think I already know whos the other two the Dragon of Katsurahama and the Shiroyasha.

Sougo: I suspected that the Shiroyasha is the Odd jobs boss, I saw him last night he is fighting with the holder of cursed sword.

I also know that the Loud fellow is non other than the man whos with us in the bar... I can't believe we already know them but we didnt notice.

Kondo: How did you know toshi?

Because I heared Sakata and that man talked about the war and how was Katsura. They still guard their General no wonder Takasugi gave us a warning.

Kondo: But I thought that they already separated and not care about each other?

Takasugi left but he still concern with Katsura thats why he said that Katsura is the key if we destroy it all the demons will come to us.

Sougo: I think that man Takasugi has a feeling for Katsura.

Kondo: that's love even if your a bad person you will still protect your love one, just like me and Otae

Kondo-san we never ask for your opinion. So what are we going to do?

Kondo cleared his throat and said put all the blame to Takasugi and never mention Katsura and his comrade. Takasugi will take all the blame, thats what he want

We followed Kondo

Gintoki's POV

We are now in the Yorozuya, Otae wanted to nurse me but I said I was waiting for someone to do that, later Zura came with a medical bag, he's hair is so annoying its so short.

Zura when will your hair grow long again?

Zura: Its Katsura not Zura andoh my hair its only a wig, Zura remove the wig and throw it, both Shinpachi and Kagura shout

How did you do that Zura?

Zura:Its not Zura, Its Katsura, well whenever I go to Saigo's bar i wear a wig because the smoke there will damage my hair and I need to take care of my hair.

Zura are you sure your a man?

Zura: Its Katsura, yes now Gintoki lets treat your wounds why do you want me to treat your wounds I also have a wounds and I need to talk a bath and take a rest because I didnt sleep iin 2 days and I still didnt eat. Lets now finish your wounds so I can go home.

Otae: Katsura-san you didnt eat? I still have a food in my bento.

when I heared that I immediatly hold Zura and go to my room I shouted that We should order food and celebrate because the client paid us big amount.

When we are now alone in my room I released my hold to Zura and took off my clothes

Zura cleaned my wounds and ask me not to move. after Zura finish he said he will now go home but I hug him

Zura don't let me worried again. After what happen you made me experience the bad decision I made and made me realize that I should not make a wrong decision once again.

Zura only listen to me and I started talking again, Zura I will now make a right decision based on what I experience... Zura I will never be a shadow, I will now stand beside you and protect you, you will never feel lonely again.

Zura: hmm gintoki, I don't know what shadow are you saying? and its okay trust me I am strong enough you don't need to worry about me anymore.

No Zura I will fulfill my promise this time.

Zura smiled and hug me, yes Zura always forgive.

Zura I love you I said and Zura let go of hug and look at me with a question

Zura: As a friend?

No Zura its not as a friend, but as someone special

Zura: but you already had a special someone

No You are wrong listen to me, they are just my friend and you will always be my special someone

I touch his lips and slowly I kiss him, after that he smiled at me

Zura: I love you too

We both shared a night together and did what lovers do.

Otae and the kids we're at the Shimura's house before Zura came I ask them to leave us so we could talk and act as normal so Zura will not notice.

Zura: Say Gintoki, why did you made a wrong choice?

hmm because I was scared of the right decision i'm scared that it will leave you broken again,I know that you treasured Takasugi same as Sakamoto

Zura: Ask for my opinion first Gintoki and always choose a decision that scares you. It will always be the right

Yeah Zura, so I am now your boyfriend right?

Zura: uhmm I thought it was already understood we already did something lovers do and I said I love you too and when will you call me by my name?

Zura thank you and yes you need to tell me also I will call you by your name when we are already at the altar.

Zura and I sleep together after we take a bath and eat food, he cooks for me. I lend him a clothe

I made a wrong choice when I left him before and now I made it right it was not too late, he will always accept me. I'm so lucky to have him now our relationship has a label.
