I DID IT!
I FINALLY GOT IT OUT!
I AM SORRY FOR THE WAIT.
I'm planning to do two more Gintama one in the future, one where Kaname herself finds herself in the world somehow, and another as a Yato clan member.
The manga is also funnier then I remember it being. :P
Gintama (Hijikata)
She was setting the table for dinner when her brother slammed the door opened, smiling brightly, and announced loudly that he had found his future wife.
Hazel eyes blinked in surprise at what was said. She set down the kettle of tea, and smiled at him, a bit surprised that a girl seemed have- for once- returned her brothers affection. He wasn't ugly, far from it actually, but he wasn't Handsome, add in his...lack of tack when it comes to socializing, then it wasn't hard to see how women didn't seem interested.
Her brother was just too 'Manly'. Women were looking for Handsome/pretty men who were good at socializing these days. If the Amano never settled, and the shogun weren't such a pansy, then her brother's looks would be exactly what women wanted if the timeline was the same as her own (From what she remembered of the original history...).
"Is that so? That's wonderful, Isao-nii!" she chirped, sitting across from him at the table.
"Yeah. She even said she liked hairy-ass's." He beamed.
She didn't know how to respond to that. To each their own I guess. She thought, starting to eat and listening to her brother talk about this girl named Otae. But, she mused taking in the pure happiness her brother was radiating at the knowledge that there was a possibility that someone could actually love him romantically. I haven't seen him this happy since...well, it's been a long time.
She would have to meet this girl.
Kondou Nadeshiko would not allow some woman to use her brother, in the guise of love, for his position in the Shinsengumi.
She would destroy anyone who made her brother unhappy.
Over the course of the next few week's her brothers mood drastically improved, coming home and telling her all about Otae each and every day.
So, after one day of her brother coming home and telling her that Otae had been engaged and that he lost a fight over her...
Well, she had intended to go find this bitch, but her brother had persuaded her otherwise. He was still dead set on marrying her, declaring that the bastard wasn't good enough.
"Hn. If that is your wish brother, then I won't seek her out." She said. But I never said I wouldn't kill her if we ever ran into one another. She mentally promised.
And who better to know where this girl was then her apparent fiance?
It's time to meet the Shinsengumi. She was sure they could find this man.
The next day Nadeshiko followed her brother to work, giving the excuse of wanting to take care of him because of his injury's. He had blushed, stuttering that it wasn't necessary, but gave in at her pouting.
"It's my job as your younger sister, Nii-sama." she stated, walking behind him as they arrived at the meeting room. "Please do not overdue it."
"Haha, Alright, alright. I promise." Isao chuckled, hearing a slight commotion in the room. "Heya!" He greeted, opening the door. "Oh...It's rare to have such a Climactic meeting." he observed, looking around the full room, before smiling. "Alright then everybody, let's go on another lively city patrol today!" he was met with stares. He blinked, "Hm? What is it?"
One of the men, who was holding a sword at another's throat, sighed.
"Hm?" He mused, tilting his head to the side.
Nadeshiko giggled, catching attention, as she stepped out from behind her brother. "I think they're looking at your swollen cheek."
"Oh? Why? It's not even that noticeable."
"Captain?" The man with the sword questioned. They were all looking at her, "Who is this?"
Isao stared at him, before grinning widely and curling his arm around Nadeshiko's shoulder. "Hijikata, everyone, I'd like to introduce my little sister, Kondou Nadeshiko! Nade-chan, Meet my vice captain Hijikata and the others!"
Silence.
"YOU HAVE A SISTER?!"
"YOU'RE RELATED TO THIS BEAUTY?!"
"HOW COME WE'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS BEFORE?!"
"What the fuck?"
Nadeshiko gave a wry smile at the reactions. She was well aware that she didn't look like her brother, she suspected that he must have taken after one parents, while she took the other.
Her brother had dark brown spiky hair, almond shaped brown eye's, a square jawline, and tanned skin. Nadeshiko had blonde hair that almost reached the ground, Hazel doe eye's, slightly tanned skin, and a heart shaped face.
"Hello, thank you for taking care of my brother." She greeted, bowing a bit to them.
"Nade-chan is here today to take care of me." Isao said in amusement.
She puffed out her cheeks, "Nii-sama, we don't want to aggravate your wounds. And if I leave you be you'll somehow do just that." she huffed.
Isao cooed at her, "Awww~ Yes, yes, yes! I'm sorry Nade~!" he then stared at Hijikata, eye's sharpening, "I'm putting you in charge of her care, Hijikata. If anything happens to her, I'll make you regret it!"
Hijikata grunted, "Nothing will happen to her, Captain."
"I am in your care." She said towards him, smiling softly, and receiving a grunt.
So, this is the fiance? She mused, observing as Hijikata 'fought' the silver haired man. She looked him over, his silver hair reminding Nadeshiko of her darling Sesshomaru as it was close in color, and thought the lazy eyes had some charm to it. "Hm...He's cute." she mused.
Isao choked, "WHAT?!"
"Then again...So is mister Hijikata, I wonder if he'd be willing to go on a date?"
Isao seemed to be frothing at the mouth, not able to get out the words he wanted to say about this, while Nadeshiko gave a predatory smirk down at the prone Captain.
Said man shivered, eye's snapping open and going on alert. His head swirled from one direction to the next, trying to figure out who or what was giving him that feeling of dread. Where? He thought, eye's scanning everything and not finding it. Then he paused as his eye's slid past the building his comrades were standing on, and slowly looked towards the group. He blinked when he looked at Nadeshiko, paling at the hungry gaze she was sending him, and silently vowed to keep an eye on the woman.
….
Along with calming down his commander, Kondou looked like he would murder the next person who talked to him.
"...Nii-sama."
"Hm?" Isao grunted, yawning as he walked into the kitchen.
"The pirate ship 'Harusame' seemed to have blown up." She stated, pointing at the t.v. currently showing footage of the incident.
Isao froze for a second, before running up to the t.v. And gawking at the news. "W-WH-BU-I-!"
She quirked a brow at him, "Nii-san?"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MY CASE! MY RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAISE!" he howled, falling to the floor, and slammed his hand down. "M-My caaaaase~! I-I was going to use that raise to g-get you somthiiiiiiiing~!" He whined. His eyes became misty, "I had the perfect thing in mind...you would have looked so pretty in it~!"
She blinked, before smiling softly at him. "There, there, Nii-san." She soothed, rubbing his back in comfort. "It's ok, you don't need to get me anything."
He sniffed, pouting up at her. "But Nade~!"
"No." She shushed, "It's fine. I don't need anything but you. So long as you make sure you come home to me and stay as safe as you can, then everything is fine."
He grunted and frowned. While touched by his sisters words, he wanted to do something nice for her since he lived in headquarters 90% of the time, thus leaving Nade alone for days until he found time to come home. She deserved to be treated like a Hime for putting up with him, for dealing with the stress of the possibility that one day she would get a visit from his subordinates and telling her that he had died on duty.
"Hrm...mmmmm...Hmp..." he huffed and looked at her searchingly. "Are you sure?"
"Yes." she nodded, then clapped and got up. "Now, hurry up, you've lost some time to get ready for work."
"Ah. Alright." He sighed getting up and making his way back to his room. He paused at the hallway, "Neh, Nade? Do you want to come to work with me again?"
She tilted her head, frowning in though, before nodding.
He beamed.
Nadeshiko had to suppress a giggle that wanted to escape her lips. Her brother had gathered everyone for a meeting to discuss what happened yesterday along with some other things he had found. Yet, when he had told everyone that it had been only two samurais that had taken down the ship, and no one reacting to it, he had ordered Hijikata to 'fix' it.
Which the man had done by pulling out a weapon of some sort and blasting everyone in the room. Her brother had repeated what he said, getting over exaggerated exclamations from everyone else, making Hijikata mad on how unconvincing they were.
"Come now, Hijikata-san, if you keep doing this then Nii-sama will never get done." she chastised.
Hijikata grunted, seeing the truth in her words, before settling back down and allowed her brother to finish what he needed to say. No one was very happy on having to guard a known corrupt official, but it was their job, so off they went.
Isao had assigned Hijikata to look after his sister again, not wanting her around the official, and had them check to make sure everyone was doing their job.
"It is nice to see you again, Hijikata-san." she said as they walked.
"Hm." he hummed, "Nice to see you as well, Kondou-san."
She pouted at him, making him jerk slightly, "None of that 'Kondou-san' business, Hijikata-san. Call me Nadeshiko, or Ko for short if you prefer."
"Thats not really-" he started, only for a dainty hand to cover his mouth.
"No. And no '-san' either, or I shall be very cross with you." she pushed.
Hijikata looked at her, he couldn't just rip her hand off of him, Kondou would kill him for harming his sister. He could just keep calling her Kondou-san, but he had the feeling that would backfire. So with a sigh, he nodded his head , which had Nadeshiko dropping her hand from his mouth. "Ah, Nadeshiko...-chan then." he huffed.
She gave him a beautiful smile that made his heart skip a beat. ...Shit.
Later they had arrived at the manor, Hijikata and Nadeshiko were walking around, checking in on everyone when they came upon a sleeping Sougo wearing a sleeping mask with eye's drawn on them.
"Tch, this guy-!" Hijikata grumbled. "You...using some mask to trick people while you're sleeping." he started, pulling out his sword and poking the sleeping teen with it. "Hey, wake up! What do you think you're doing slacking off on guard duty!?"
Sougo grumbled, pulling down his mask and glancing at them. "What do ya want mom? It's sunday. Geez...you're such an airhead."
"TODAY IS TUESDAY!"
Nadeshiko snorted, enjoying the show as the two argued. Then along came her brother, who proceeded to hit both of them in the head.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DONG SCREWING AROUND ON THE JOB!?" he yelled, "ARE YOU A BUNCH OF SCHOOL GIRLS!? FEEL LIKE A SCHOOL TRIP!? YOU BASTARDS WANT A PILLOW FIGHT OR SOMETHING?!"
"Why does school trip equal pillow fight to you in this situation, Isao?" Nadeshiko questioned with a chuckle. Only to scowl as the man they were to protect hit her brother.
"YOU ARE THE NOISIEST ONE HERE! AS IF I'M NOT WORKED UP OVER THIS AS IT IS!" the alien huffed as he turned around. "Bunch of useless monkeys!"
Sougo 'hmph'ed at the retreating back, "Whats with that attitude? We're putting our lives on the line protecting him."
Nadeshiko scowled at the toad, she really didn't like it. "Those with money automatically think people like us are lesser then themselves, doubly so when they are a 'superior' race." she said, watching as her brother ran after their mission.
A minute later the sound of a gunshot rang through the air.
Turning at the unmistakable sound of a bullet hitting flesh, Nadeshiko froze at seeing the pained expression on her brothers face. She quickly ran to his side as he fell to the floor.
"KONDOU-SAN! HANG IN THERE!"
"CAPTAIN!"
"NII-SAMA!" putting her hands on the wound she tried to see if the bullet had hit his heart. She sighed in relief to find, that while it was fairly close, he was in little danger of dying so long as the blood was staunch. "He should be fine as long as we treat him immediately and keep the blood from flowing." one of the men had quickly took over putting pressure on the wound.
"Hmp. Looks like even a monkey can take a bullet."
And while Hijikata was able to stop Sougo from drawing his sword and attacking the client, he wasn't fast enough to stop Nadeshiko from burying her fist in the toads cheek. Her face was murderous as he sent the alien flying through a number of walls.
Everything went silent at what had happened.
Hijikata, Sougo, and the rest of the force gawked at the display of power the frail looking girl had.
"No one-" She hissed, fist covered in purple blood, "And I mean NO ONE disrespects my brother!" she snarled. Nadeshiko then quickly shed her Kimono, revealing the skin tight orange tank top and black work out shorts underneath.
Hijikata, snapping out of his daze (Along with tearing his eye's away from her body) quickly walked up to her and grasped her arm before she could do anything else. "What the hell are you-?!"
Nadeshiko ripped her arm from his hold, giving him a vicious grin. "I'm going hunting."
"Wh-" was all Hijikata could get out before Nadeshiko seemed to have disappeared.
He blinked at the dust cloud left behind, along with an indentation of her foot print in the wood.
Later found everyone in the room Kondou was currently occupying, Yamazaki reading out the information they were able to obtain from the sniper thanks to Nadeshiko's...persuasion.
"The perps are a group of Alien expulsion rebels called 'Kaiten Party'. A different organization that Katsura's group, but just as organized, devoted, and violent."
Hijikata sighed, listening as Yamazaki informed him of the drugs found in the toads mansion, he didn't like to protect this corrupt politician, but Kondou was counting on them to protect the ass. Never mind that he may have already failed since his sister had gotten a hit on him, and he explained this to his subordinates.
So, when he stepped out to have a smoke, and he saw both Sougo and Nadeshiko feeding flames that were under a crucified toad he was understandably angry.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? GODDAMN IT!"
"It's fine, it's fine. We won't kill him." Sougo said lazily.
Nadeshiko scoffed, "Speak for yourself."
Sougo sent her a look, "As long as he's safe, then anything goes, right? We can draw the enemies out with this and take them all out." Sougo explained, resting a log against his shoulder. "The best defense is a good offense."
"YOU BASTARDS WON'T GET AWAY WITH TH-MPF!" the toad started, only to get cut off as Nadeshiko viciously shoved a log in it's mouth.
"Oya, oya, oya. So much noise." She muttered, shoving in more.
"STOP THAT!" Hijikata yelled at her.
"No."
After a bit, and with more persuasion from Sougo, Hijikata sighed and held his hands over the fire. "...You know, for some reason, tonight is chilly..." he looked at the blonde woman with them, and gave a small smirk. "Add more firewood, Nadeshiko."
She grinned, "Gladly."
Then the rebels came, they were spouting some shit about betrayal and real samurais, but Hijikata didn't listen as he watched Nadeshiko run full force at the group. Her face conveyed just how much she would enjoy cutting them down.
Where the fuck did she get that sword? Hijikata wondered as he and Sougo made to join her.
"DAMMIT TOSHI! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT PROTECTING NADE?!"
The two officers jolted and quickly looked behind them, only to see Kondou standing there with a grin. "Damn, you two are quick to get into a fight." he then raised his sword towards the group, "DON'T LET TOSHI AND SOUGO TAKE ALL THE GLORY! PROTECT THAT STUPID FROG! BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY DON'T YOU DARE LET A SINGLE HAIR ON NADE-CHANS HEAD GET HURT!"
"Neh, Nii-san?"
"Hm? What is it Nade?"
"What does everyone like to eat? I'm making the food for the Hanami, and I wanted to make sure everyone had something they liked." she explained, already having some of the basic foods prepared.
"Saaa, well..." Isao started, listing off what everyone liked to eat, along with the allergy's of some of them, and with how picky some were with how their food came into contact with something they hated. "-likes the taste of it, but wont actually eat it, so he gives it to Yamazaki who really enjoys the stuff. Aaaaannd...who else...Ah, Toshi will pretty much eat anything so long as there is Mayo in it."
"Oh, I guess I can make some dishes with a bit of Mayo in them." she muse.
"No, Nade you don't understand what I'm saying. Not just a bit of mayo, I mean he has his own bottle of Mayo on his person at all times and uses over half the bottle."
She stared at him.
"...What." she said flatly.
Isao nodded.
She frowned at that, before heading back into the kitchen to make the food.
Hijikata's eyebrows shot up in surprise at the food in front of him.
There was mayo in it, granted not as much as he wanted, but it was in there. He looked at Nadeshiko, who was sitting next to him, and wondered how she knew about his liking of the food.
"I asked Nii-sama on what everyone liked while cooking." She answered smiling, "I know there's not much Mayo in it, but you shouldn't eat so much of it, it's bad for your health. Not to mention I would feel offended if you couldn't even taste my cooking under all of that mayonnaise." she smiled sharply at him. "You wouldn't want to offend me, would you?"
He gulped, looking towards the downed Otae across from them being attended by Shinpachi. The moment Nadeshiko knew who she was, the girl had shoved her brother out of the way and took his place in the game. She had triumphed with her rock vs Otae's scissors, and while the other was able to put the helmet on, it didn't do much with how much strength was put into the swing. Nadeshiko had also put a stop with the drinking contest, not amused by them trying to use the alcohol she had bought with her own money like that.
"A-Ah, well, if you say so." He said hesitantly. He took a bite, and while not how he usually had it, admitted it was good.
"Taste good?"
"Mh." He nodded, taking another bite.
She watched him for a bit, before smiling at him and nodding her head in affirmation. "I've decided."
"Hm? Decided what?" He questioned, taking a sip of his beer.
Instead of answering him, Nadeshiko turned her head towards her brother, and yelled; "Nii-sama, I'm going to marry Hijikata!"
Said man choked on his food as his face flamed.
Isao became blank.
The rest of the officers either cheered or looked in disbelief at the couple.
Well, he may be a bit weird with his food choice, but at least I only have to deal with that in this life. She mused, slipping her arm around Hijikata's and leaning into him. Chuckling as he stiffened when she quickly kissed his cheek.
In a dozen lives from now, the then named, Juri sneezed before leaning as far away as she could from Alma. Yuu, sitting besides her, was currently using her as a shield from stray globs of Mayonnaise.
They both felt sick as Alma put even more of the concoction into his medicine.
Nadeshiko couldn't help but feel like she had just jinxed herself for some odd reason.
