Anime: Gintama x Inuyasha

Pairing: Gintoki Sakata x Kagome Higurashi x Takasugi Shinsuke

"Kagome, report."

Hearing the heavy steps behind her, the miko looked over her shoulder to see a black haired samurai wearing a long coat holding his katana in hand looking around the small hut inside their headquarters. A low sigh escaped her lips as she stood on her feet from her knelt down position and wiped her hands clean with a damp towel.

"No casualties," she replied as she looked down on the samurai she had saved from bleeding to death, "but our numbers have gone down."

"I see," the male samurai spoke, hearing the moans of pain echo through the small room, "we only have a few men for the upcoming battle."

"Then allow me to fight, Takasugi-san." The miko turned to face the samurai. Having accepted to become the Joi Rebels' medical supporter, she could not help but feel she could still do more to support the army. It was the least she could do after having them take her in.

Takasugi's eyebrows furrowed as he saw the determination in her face to push the topic. She had asked before to fight in the war, but he and the rest of his comrades had disagreed to it. He was not one to get attached, but he would not allow their only medical expert to get injured nor die.

"Onegai!" Kagome pleaded, taking a step toward the samurai.

"I will not allow it." He replied, closing his eyes.

"You are short in men! Do not push me to the side because I am a woman!" Kagome glared, tightening her fist around the white towel in her hand covered in blood.

He would not admit the attachment he had to the girl – he would not. Turning away from her gaze, his body turned to give her his back, "the battle field is not for a woman. Do not push the subject any further, Kagome."

The miko's eyes shook in disbelief before the glare returned on her eyes. Parting her lips to speak, another male voice stopped her from doing so.

"Oi, oi, Takasugi, why don't you just admit that you just care for Kagome-chan's safety."

"Gintoki-san...". The miko whispered, seeing the silver haired samurai leaning at the entrance of the hut.

"Don't put your nose where it doesn't belong, Sakata Gintoki."

"Stop putting the tough act," Gintoki chuckled as he walked over to the two, "I know this is your way of protecting the little miko. I understand, I really do." Placing his hand over the miko's shoulder, he gave her a grin, "don't hang so much on Takasugi's words. This is his way of showing his love."

"Uruse, Gintoki," Takasugi's eyes narrowed, "stop spewing nonsense."

"You see, he has never experienced love so this is all a new concept for him." The silver haired male gave Kagome a smile before leaning closer to the girl, "he had developed a soft spot for you." Feeling the sharp point of a katana at his neck, his eyes slowly glided to the corner to see none other than Takasugi holding the other end.

Takasugi kept his gaze strong, ready to slice the Shiroyasha's head off. "One more word, Gintoki, and I am afraid we will be losing another commander."

"Mah, mah," Gintoki chuckled, holding his hands in front of his chest defensively, "but I don't disagree with you."

"Huh?" The miko blinked. "What do you mean?"

Gintoki shrugged his shoulders, "every man and woman is welcome to the battlefield, but not you."

Kagome turned to face the silver haired samurai as she delivered her glare onto him, "are you discriminating me!?" Jabbing her finger in front of his chest, she hardened her scowl, "I can fight too, Gintoki-san!"

"I am afraid I can't." Gintoki shook his head, feeling the tip of Takasugi's katana slowly retreat from his neck, "Takasugi may not admit it to you, but if there is one thing we agree on is that we cannot allow the one thing we both care about be in the midst of danger. Besides," placing his arm over the miko's shoulder, he gave her a grin, "after this war, Edo is going to need to reproduce and I need a woman-"

Gintoki was quickly kicked away from the blushing miko before he collided with the boxes of their supplies. Kagome blinked as she turned to see Takasugi's leg extended out before putting it back down on the floor.

"T-Takasugi-san…?" She whispered.

"Find someone else." Takasugi scoffed before turning away and leaving the hut. He would not admit his attachment; he would not admit his weakness.
