I'm back guys! Quarantine makes me productive in terms of writing fanfiction. It's weird that I'm writing this one while listening to Toto. Anyway enjoy this one-shot (This story takes place after my fanfic Gintoki's future Arc). This story is GinTae centric at the beginning then it became an all-star centric towards the end of the story.
Disclaimer: Sorachi Hideaki owns Gintama. Not mine :)
Sakata Gintoki is the first person she lay her eyes on as soon as she wakes up. They're married for almost 9 years now and yet for her, he's the most handsome and genuine person she ever met. The flame of their romance never fades away and that love provided them with 2 wonderful children. Otae snuggled her husband once more until she decided to pull away and sat up on the futon, unknowillingly waking her husband.
Shimura Tae is the first person he lay his eyes on. Her beauty never fades in his eyes. She still looks like the same Tae who hopped on his Vespa years ago. Staring at her bare back, he's thankful that she still loves him and he always wondered how did he got so lucky to sleep with her and cherished that body countless nights. He always ask himself what did she see in him. In return, he always do his best at everything to prove that he is the best man for her.
Trusting her instinct, she looked around and there he was, staring at her nakedness, "Stop staring...It's gonna be a busy day today...", she said softly. She always love the way he stares at her everytime they make love.
"I know but before that...", he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer, "just 5 more minutes..."
She knew he was teasing her...and she likes it, "okay...just 5 minutes.." She smiled as Gin put his lips on her and she lay on top of him. They're married for years but they're acting like it's still their honeymoon phase.
After their quickie, they took a bath and dressed up and Gin went straight to the kitchen while Otae went to another bedroom, "Ow Emi! You're already awake!". She saw their 4 year old daughter already playing with her toys. The girl happily went to her mother and Otae carried her towards the dining area. Soon after, Gin came out and prepared their breakfast. As they settled with their position, another one came out. It's their 8 year old son Shoyou.
"Shoyou Ohayo! Are you excited for today?!"
"Yes I am Mama!" he said, suddenly getting energized. Today is actually Shoyou's first day attending Tendo Mushin. Gin is now the head of the dojo alongside his second-in-command Shinpachi. Kyubei and Kondo sometimes teach the students on their free time. It's Shoyou's big step. Aside from going to an ordinary school that teaches letters and numbers and other stuff, this one is different. He wants to be a samurai just like his dad and his uncle. Gin vowed to himself to teach his son the right way of being a samurai.
After having breakfast, the family of four went ahead to the training room where new students already taking their positions. They saw Kyubei and Kondo in the distance.
"I'm excited for our son to finally study our family tradition. Soon enough, I will recruit him in Shinsenggum- WHACK!"
"Kondo-san,have you forgotten Otae is now married... know the word 'Move On'?" Kyubei reminded him as he was busy wiping the blood from his nose that he got from Otae's punch.
"Don't worry about it Kyu-chan! He's just desperate so I just let him do that besides he knows who's already the lucky one..."
"Yup and I'm the lucky one!" Gin said as he approached them and take Shoyou with him.
"Don't worry Otae-san! I keep stalking you since it became a part of your daily routine. I will make you happy as long as it takes!"
"Kondo-san...I think I should be the one to help you find the right girl..."
"No I cannot accept that! You know you're the only one for me!" he happily declared. Otae just facepalmed as she cradle her daughter in her arms, laughing on their antics. On the other side of the room..
"Gin-san! I'm happy that our son is now learning to become a samurai. I' to be her mother!", a purple haired ninja,who's accompanied by a blonde form Yoshiwara, tearfully caressing Shoyou's face, gaining her a weird look latter.
"Quit it Sarutobi! I thought you're living with that hemmorhoid?!"
"He's not hemmorhoid He's Human! Besides I rather have you than that Jump reading Hemmorhoid!"
"You just told everyone he's a hemorrhoid!"
"Quit it Sarutobi! We're here to witness Shoyou's first day..." Tsukuyo glanced at Shoyou and Gintoki. Damn, he really looks like a mini version of him,she thought. She began to speak, "Gintoki, I also want to enroll someone..." then she called his attention. Almost a 15 year old boy came inside.
"Seita! You grew so well!"
"Yup it's me!" Sieta said as he hugged Gin. The last time he saw the kid he was still small and very innocent. Now they almost have the same height. Gin was afraid to ask the teenage boy some questions since he's basically grew up in the red light district.
"Hinowa encourage him to join so I accompany him..."
"Really? To accompany me? You just want to see Gin-san!" Seita teased her but it doesn't work for her anymore.
"Stop that! Besides I'm happy the way it turned out. Gintoki is now happy and I already moved on!" She pats his head. Gin was just smiling on how Tsukuyo matured when it comes to love. He wishes that she will find a man. Without them knowing, Otae was listening to them. She poked Kondo's shoulder who's beside her and now busy talking to Tojou about Kyubei, "Kondo-san...I think I found the girl for you."
Otose,Catherine,Tama,Madao,Kagura and Shinpachi came in and sat beside Otae. Otae handed Emi to Otose as she knew the now white haired grandma missed her grandchilden more often. Shinpachi decided not to teach today as he listens to Gintoki starting to prepare the lecture.
Kondo took a glance to the other side and said softly to Kagura, "Hey Sogou wants to tell you that he wants to meet you at the Park tonight..."
"Wow Kagura-chan! You're now dating Sogou-kun!" Otae blushed on the news.
"Yuck! We don't have a relationship and besides we're gonna meet up because we still have this ongoing beetle battle aru!"
"You're so dense Kagura-chan...He clearly wants to spend some time with you like a date..."
"Don't talk to me like you know about dating you Virgin Boy!"
"Why my viginity became a meme on this show all of a sudden?!"
"Pssttt...That's enough the lesson is about to start!" Otose scolded them. As Gin was about to speak, 5 figures came out on the door.
"Yo Kintoki! I want to enroll my child here Hahahah!"
"wow..Sakamoto...I never knew you're capable of producing a child". Gin went closer to them. Sakamoto brought his son Tamahome, his son with Mutsu. They still run their business empire at the skies. The child inherited his dad's hair but obviously he has his mother's eyes. Gin became excited to teach this kid, curious if he has the strength of a Yato. He might ask Kagura for help to do that. Gin escorted them to their position then he turned around to his one last guest. "So you decided to have your child enroll here and not to become a terrorist? Good job for you Zura! When I first learned you're gonna have a child I'm worried that your child might end up terrorizing this town..."
"Zura Ja Nai Katsura da! Even if I force my kid to join me Ikumatsu would drown me in the river if I do that. You should be thankful that I support you in your teaching journey by enrolling Soma here..."
"Fine fine Zura..." then Gin glanced to the other kid that was behind Katsura, "Is that-"
"Yup" Zura said as he knew what Gin would ask as he sees him, "The woman went to our house and begged me to enroll him on your school. I think she was looking for a job. One of these days I'm gonna meet her and introduced him to Sakamoto..."
"Okay...let's go kid..." Gin said as he escorted the last kid on his position. As Gin prepared his teaching tools, Shoyou bravely ask that last kid next to him, "Hi! I'm Shoyou! What's your name?"
Hearing the name Shoyou, a sudden flash of deja vu entered the kid's mind. His train of thoughts interrupted as Gintoki, their new teacher, gave him a drink that obviously familiar with him, "Drink it up so you can have energy..." Gin gave him a wink. Gin's presence made that kid comfortable and he felt the assurance and trust in Gintoki like he misses it even though it's his first time to meet him. That kid looked at Shoyou and replied his question, "Nice to meet you..I'm Takasugi.."
The End.
The woman Zura mentioned is obviously Matako. The drink Gin gave was Yakult. I The name Tamahome came from the iconic anime Fushi Yuugi. Soma is obviosuly came from Food Wars. About Matako, I knew she adopted baby Takasugi and that's the reason why I wrote this fanfic. I just need to see the adult Gin meeting the kid Takasugi. hope you enjoy that one-shot! :)
