If You Want To Party You Must Get All The Booze Needed For It
-'-
The ocean roars with its crashing waves, spitting foam into the shore. Seagulls sing their screeching melodies trying to fish some fish, discussing among them the recent news of greedy humans, who are leaving them without food.
"Gin-chan! Gin-chan! I want some takoyaki, uh-huh!" exclaimed Kagura.
"Wait up you brat! I'm on it!" yelled the perm head as he finished cooking the takoyaki, adding more to the grill with Shinpachi's help.
The Yorozuya/Shinsengumi/Kiheitai/Harusame/Kaientai/Jouishishi family was having a picnic at the beach. It wasn't as chaotic as you'd expect it to be. Sougo tried to kill Hijikata, Kondo was stalking Otae, Catherine claimed Otose's fortune for herself, Zura was teaching Elizabeth something stupid, Tatsuma was discussing with Mutsu about a recent deal (he was losing, and by losing I mean getting shot in the balls), Gin-chan and Pattsuan were cooking and Kagura was devouring everything, Kamui was trying to kill Umibouzu who returned the punches, Abuto was close behind trying to stop them, Shinsuke was sitting under an umbrella sipping some coke, Henpeita was claiming to be a feminist while dressed as Shinsuke, Matako was shooting him of course. All in all, they were being as civilized as they could be. They had all gone to the beach to celebrate Shinsuke and Kamui's marriage, an union that had taken everyone by surprise, and since the Yorozuya was involved they attracted a whole bunch of unexpected guests. The party at the beach was just for the day; during the night they were going back to the city to celebrate in one of those fancy, party-designed places, where they'd be having dinner.
"Die, Hijikata-san!" proclaimed Sougo as he aimed the rocket launcher in the alluded's direction.

Nightfall came around, and the troublemakers went to the fancy place, all dressed up and cleaned. It was a big room in the last floor of a very tall building, giving a perfect view of Edo's many artificial lights and neon signs, and everyone was getting drunk, especially Tsukuyo, who wanted everyone to get drunk as well. Hijikata had drunk so much he had at least five lit cigarettes in his mouth, Pattsuan was broken in the floor ("Those are just my glasses!" screams the human that the glasses wore), Gintoki was running away from drunken Tsukuyo, Kondo was yelling something to Otae along the lines of 'marry me', 'you make me hot', and so on. Madao was being stepped on, Matsudaira saw Zura and started shooting him, Tatsuma was flirting with Oryou-chan. Sougo was stupidly confessing to Kagura and asking her to marry him, since her brother already tied the knot, to which she simply kicked him.
"Kamui, you alright?" asked Shinsuke.
"Yeah, I was just planning a murder, but I'm back now" he answered, looking at the sadist embedded in the wall.
"I see"
They sat away from everyone, sipping slowly some sake while watching the imminent disaster that unfolded in front of their eyes. The booze made people get into puny arguments with each other, which resulted in punches. At some point someone pulled out a rocket launcher (Sougo most likely, who got himself out of the wall), and destroyed a nearby building, then Zura got his sword out and returned Matsudaira's bullets to him, Tsukuyo found Gin-chan who was playing cards with Hasegawa and threw him in Tama's direction, Tama fell making Kondo's drink to spill in Otae's lap, Tae grabbed Kondo and threw him in the middle of Matsudaira and Zura's fight. Zenzou had a heated argument about JUMP with Ketsuno Ana's older brother; Sacchan was now fighting Tsukuyo, the reason being the perm head with dead fish eyes. A few holes were blasted into the walls, Umibouzu found out about Sougo's confession and tried to annihilate him, Kagura was mourning Shinpachi's sudden death ("I'm not dead! My glasses broke! That's all!" screamed again the human that the glasses wore). Basically all of their little fights ended up being taken outside, destroying buildings and such, until Edo was immersed in smoke and people screaming, trying to get away.

Shinsuke and Kamui didn't bulge from their seats, as they kept sipping their sake, enjoying the view.
"Told you this party would be dangerous" sang the rabbit.
"Yes. But it was a good one, nonetheless" replied the samurai.
"Better than New Year's" agreed Kamui.
"Better than New Year's"
They left after a while, back to the place they had bought, a japanese styled house, like the one the Shimura siblings have. They laid down in their bed kissing the other good night, as the turmoil in the city continued to roar.

A/N: In response to reviews:
Chapter 24:
Y: "Ohmygood I'm super late! Anyways, this chapter is so gppd. I wish takamui meet in canon again sigh."
Its fine, I've been late for the update as well. It was difficult to finish it, and it ended up having more than three thousand words, I had to ask my beta for ideas a few times. And I went to the extremes, the last chapter was too short, and that one was too long. I hear that the manga is about to finish actually :'(
