- authors note -
I said that this would be the final chapter but it got quite long. It's a bit of GinTsu in this chapter. But I promise next chapter really will be the last one. This one got quite long so I decided to divide the final chapter in two.
- Ah, They finally left. Thanks god
Gintoki looked satisfied with himself. As if he had just won the olympics or something similar. He had a suspicious smile on his lips. He had clearly won over that bastard.
After several minutes of nagging at Gintoki, Shinpachi had finally stopped which was a big relief to him as he didn't want to hear anymore of his coworkers nagging.
Seita had calmed down from his laugh attack too. He had laughed so hard that he couldn't breath anymore and almost peed his pants. Kagura was also back from the kitchen with a mountain of food. Just. For. Herself. Her azure colored eyes were shining with lust towards the food she steadily held in her hands while walking back to the table.
- Thanks god what? You made me hurt Kou's feelings. You've destroyed my whole friendship with him! Tsukuyo was angry at him, he had just destroyed her friendship with one of her only childhood friends that she still had. She was so gonna make him pay for this later.
- He was no good anyway. I am sure he just wanted to get into those pants of yours. You've given up on the life of a woman right? So I don't see the need for someone like you to have someone like him!
- He didn't want to get into my pants! What the hell are you talking about you idiot!? Tsukuyo blushed over the sudden statement. She quickly switched to tsundere mode and threw insults at him.
- I know all off that stuff already, playing the nice and polite card just to hook the girl he wants. Then treat her like shit. I read it in one of my jumps not too long ago!
And a punch came flying and hitting the back off his face making him crack to the floor.
- Just because you read it in a jump doesn't mean that all boys do that just because they're nice and polite you perm headed idiot! And isn't jump for boys? Are there even any romance in it?
- What was that for you drunk terminator? I swear he's just another perv-
And another punch which sent him crashing into the wall this time.
They now had a full ongoing argument which Tsukuyo clearly won with her insults and sharp kunai's that always seemed to find their way towards Gintoki's forehead.
Gintoki's sharp and smart comebacks didn't help him in this situation. Not towards a full fledged tsundere ninja who can kill you in a heartbeat.
Hinowa just smiled at the two of them. "what a nice pair, having Gintoki as a son in law wouldn't be such a bad idea after all!"
- Shinpachi! My gelly hurts. carry me to my room, yes? Kagura rubbed her swollen belly as if it was a baby inside when in reality it was just kilos of food.
- Kagura chan it's belly and you reap what you sow! Shinpachi just answered her bluntly with aq tired tone in his voice. His eyes weren't any better. He didn't care about anything anymore.. Why would he carry her? He had gotten enough already, first the ignoring, then the marriage meeting plan. Then the honey part. And him fainting. And now Kagura's stomach?. Nope he couldn't take this anymore. His straight man character had reached its limits this time for sure.
- You are rude, yes! It's the job of a man to carry a woman to her room if she's drunk, yes?
- There's so many wrongs in that comment so that I don't know where to start! First of all, you're no woman! Second, you're not drunk! and third, it's not your room!
Shinpachi screamed at her. Even if he had given up on life itself. His straight man character where still on with full force.
- You're no man either megane. You're a virg-
- Aahhh! That's enough Kagura chan, That's enough!
He put his hands over her mouth. He couldn't allow her at any means possible to finish that sentence.
Gintoki and Tsukuyo, Kagura and Shinpachi continued their arguments until sunset fell upon them. Shinpachi and Gintoki got to bed with blood and bruises all over them while Tsukuyo and Kagura went to bed with proud smugs on their faces. They had obviously won. With just a little bit of violence.
Seita looked horrified at his sister and friend. They were dangerous.. definitely too dangerous. He would make sure not to enrage any of them in the near future. Or any future whatsoever. He wanted to get at least 18 before dying thank you very much.
Tsukuyo woke up around 3:00 AM at night. Her eyes full of energy. She just couldn't sleep. She was angry at the perm head for destroying her friendship with her old friend but grateful at the same time. All these emotions held her awake. Maybe she should take a patrol.
"If i can't sleep then I could at least take a patrol or a drink?."
She decided for the first one as she knew fully aware that she got drunk pretty fast.
She walked down the stair and out of the shop/house's front door. Only to find Gintoki sitting on a bench just beside it.
- You never change huh? Going on a patrol this late at night. How many times do you intend to repeat this? It has already happened in both the manga and anime once on the red spider arc. Do you intend to make a similar situation in this fanfiction?
- What are you babbling on about? I'm just taking a patrol and that's all. You don't need to make this into more of a drama than it already is!
She took a smoke of her pipe and blew out some smoke.
- I thought you would blow it at my face again..
- I will, next time. So get on in again!
- Oi! I am older than you! Respect your elders. I can already feel my legs going numb!
- You're still in your twenties! And what was that husband and wife part anyway?
- You played on at it with me so I thought you understood!?
- Of course not. Why would I. Who walks into a marriage meetings and says "I'm home honey" anyway?!
She screamed the first and last part out loud. There were something seriously wrong with this samurai's head.
- Me obviously!
She just glared at him. Did she seriously have feelings for this pitiful man? He barely has a roof over his head.
- Are you just gonna stand there and glare at me as if i was the biggest mistake ever made? Come and sit here instead or your legs will get numb.
- I am a trained hyakka ninja. My legs won't get numb just by standing here some minutes..
- Whatever just come here.
- Fine...
She sat beside him on the bench. Both of them looking at the stars together. It went silent and it felt wonderful for both of them looking at the stars in this silence all alone. But they didn't have a clue how the other felt obviously.
Gintoki suddenly broke the silence
- Tsukuyo. does it exist a reason why you didn't want to marry that man.? I mean, I am sure you would've done it if Hinowa wanted you to.
- I am not that old Tsukuyo anymore from the yoshiwara ruled by the night king.. I am the Tsukuyo of this new yoshiwara. I have my own will now you know. And that is to protect this city. Nothing more.
- I see. what a pity..
- Huh?
- Shit, did I say that out loud?
- Obviously you did. What do you mean with what a pity?
- Ah look! I think I saw an ufo!
- Idiot! Ufo's are everywhere at this day and age! Don't try to change the subject!
- It's nothing. Let's go back in shall we? It's getting cold.
He was desperate to get off of this topic right know. Why the hell did he say that out loud. He thought he had mastered his own mind by now. Hell he even talked with telepathy just some hours before!
- It was already cold when I got out here, answer me Gintoki!
- Man, what a pest. Stop it. I'll give you 300 yen. So please just stop it!
- Gintoki! Seriously I am asking you what's a pi-
She found herself unable to talk when something smooth pressed against her lips that only lasted for some seconds. When his lips parted from hers she finally understood what just had happened.
- wh.. wh… what do you think you're doing!?
- Kissing you so you'll shut up of course.
- Wh.. wh… wh… what!
She took him by his wrists and threw him inside the house with a loud crack.
- What do you think you're doing jackass! Kissing someone just to shut 'em up!? I'm gonna kill you Gintoki!
A gloomy aura surrounded her. And her beautiful purple eyes were now filled with rage. And it was all for Gintoki to taste.
- I… I was joking Tsukuyo! I was joking! He cried in a desperate try to save himself from getting into sweet land sooner than he had anticipated.
- Joking? So the kiss was only a joke for you? I am so gonna kill you. Yorozuya Gin-chan. Any last words?
The aura around her got even thicker, even deadlier, even… even worse for him. Her eyes weren't only filled with rage. They were piercing through his entire soul.
She took out a pair of kunai's as she made her way towards him inside the house. He was dead. He's definitely dead.
He quickly prayed his last prayers towards the seven gods of fortune [1] in hope of a good end. Meaning that he would survive.
Though the odds weren't with him today and all his hope was slowly fading away as the blonde woman before him got nearer and nearer. Closer and closer. Slowly coming towards him as he tries to steady his breaths. Any breath could be his last one right now after all.
This was just like a horror movie for him. In one of those classic horrors when the boy are cornered with no way to flee and the murderer slowly approaches him with a knife that can slice through him at any second. In his case it was kunai's but he didn't bother with that right now because a drunk terminator was after his head after all. And he didn't want an drunk terminator after his head!
He didn't even get a chance to blink as a kunai flew past him hitting the wall next to him. "Ah shit. I'm screwed, Sensei, Wait for me… I'm coming for you!"
He could always confess and all this would be over and he would be forgiven. If it just were that easy. He was a free and prideful man (when he didn't need to eat dark matter, see any ghosts or just enraged an old woman, cat, robot, drunk terminator, gorilla woman or Yato girl) and wouldn't bow down that easily.
However, when he thought about it for a second. One of these things he put down his pride for was, Sadly enough. Before him.
Pride?, truth?, pride?, truth? He sat there thinking about what to do. Even though he didn't have any time for it. The enraged woman was now even closer.
"Fuck pride! What's that anyway? In this day and age life are more important than pride anyway. There isn't even one loyal samurai out there anymore anyway. Ah ha ha ha!"
Just as he was about to break apart and give in on everything the realization hit him. And just as she was about to slice him with the only kunai she had left in her right hand he asked.
- Why do you care about that kiss anyway. You're a woman of the Yoshiwara right. That kiss shouldn't mean anything anyway. You said that you've given up your identity as a woman. So that kiss shouldn't mean a thing to you anyway. Ah ha ha ha.
He laughed nervously. This comment could either give him a faster way to Sensei and sweet land in other words death or save his life.
- Eh… Uh… Uhm… you see… what's with those anyway's anyway? You got a "anyway" sickness or something?
- Don't try to change the subject you drunk terminator! And you said anyway yourself! Oh crap I got off track. Now back to topic.
- Whose a drunk terminator you useless good-for-nothing samurai?!
And he just destroyed any chance of him getting away alive. Back to praying towards the 7 gods of fortune it is…
[1] - The Seven God's Of Fortune (七福神, shichifukujin in japanese) are seven god's said to bring luck. Why it is seven god's is because the number 7 is seen as a lucky number in japan. The seven gods of fortune are often engraved in netsuke engravings.
Please send a review on what I can improve and sorry for the grammatical errors that probablt exist out there. This was the first kiss scene i've ever written so it was probablt very bad.
