Hey guys I'm really sorry that I couldn't make it on Wednesday, but here is the new chapter!
Hope you all enjoy it!

Hellooo: Thank you so much for leaving a comment! It means a lot to me! Hope you enjoy this one :D

After a quick meal, especially since Otose refused to give them much food saying that she wasn't going to feed them more until he finally paid his rent—he had to remind himself to stop going there for some days, soon she was going to forget about that whole rent thing, and it's not like she was going to let them die of hunger either, that wasn't the first time she told them that after all.

They finally arrived at the Shinsengumi—not before he made sure that it was clear, and that there wasn't any mayonnaise lover near—finding Sougo sitting at the entrance while playing with some cats, probably waiting for them, that or he was simply skipping his work, but it didn't really matter for him.

If Sougo was there it meant that he wouldn't have to roam around the headquarters looking for Sougo while to avoid Hijikata at the same time.

"So the tax robbers have so much free time that they can sit around and play with cats, huh? Glad to see that you're using my money so well." He called while Kagura was giggling at her side. Why he wasn't sure.

"You don't even pay taxes, Danna." He turned back to see him and chuckled. "Didn't expect you to come so soon." He slouched before his eyes meet Kagura's. "So you came too, China? Don't tell me you were missing so badly?" He smirked.

"You wish you, Sadist! As if I would miss someone as lame as you!" But before she could go away to fight him, he grabbed her shoulder, holding her in place. He knew well that if those two started fighting he would never be able to get out of there. "Gin-chan?"

"Stop it you two. We came to work, remember? You can fight later if you want." She nodded disappointedly. "Now Souchiro-kun," he could hear how Sougo was correcting him as usual on the background, "you better pay us well."

"And give us some food too!" Kagura added and he nodded. Some food wouldn't be bad either. If Kagura ate there that would only mean less food that he had to get for her and more money he could use for pachinko.

"Fine, fine." He sighed as he was touching his neck. "And I'm do going to pay you, Danna, you guys are probably cheaper after all than bringing someone else to clean." After giving some food to the cats h went inside, quickly followed by the two of them.

The Shinsengumi… It sure felt like forever since the last he went there… Well, he never went there much to begin with, but he always enjoyed going there to annoy Hijikata, it was always fun to see how he freaked out every time he got into his room, it wasn't fun to get yelled afterwards, but he only did it when Hijikata was too busy with work that they wouldn't meet unless he went there.

It was always me the one wanting to see him, huh?

He couldn't remember Hijikata being the one calling to him, or even asking to meet…

Don't think of that… "Who are you calling cheap?!" He asked trying to leave that sad mood behind, he had already decided to at least stop being that affected for something had already ended.

"But you guys are cheap, you would do anything for money." Sougo chuckled and he had to really control himself to not kick him right there and to not let Kagura do the same.

"Calling us only to insult us, you damn bastard… What do you even want us to do?"

"You only have to some of the rooms." He answered as he was taking them to Kondo's room if he was remembering well. Hijikata's room is on the other side. He gave a quick look to down the hallway only to find some of the men walking around, but no one that he cared about. It should be fine for now. "It won't take you that long, right Danna?" He was looking at him curiously, almost as if he knew that he was trying to run away from Hijikata.

Weird… "I hope so, I don't want to clean your shit for too long." The faster the better.

"What? I don't want to clean your room Sadist! It's probably really disgusting inside!"

"As if I would like to have you poking around my room China." He deadpanned as he was opening the door of the room. "You can start with Kondo-san's one. If you find something weird just throw it away."

"Oi and what about my food?! I can't work with my stomach empty!" Kagura complained. It's not like you have your stomach empty either Kagura.

"Are you going to stop bothering me once I gave you food, China?" He sighed and she nodded happily. "I'll come back once you're done here Danna, don't you dare go away." He added before slouching away, with Kagura going behind him.

Well, at least with them away I can clean faster. He gave a last look around before getting inside the room.

He sighed after seeing the pile of papers in front of him, what was he supposed to do now? He had already done the reports for that week, and probably for the next month too, and with all the written apologies he had written they probably had enough for a lifetime, he had even re-written the Shinsengumi code twice.

I really don't have anything to do? After his chat with Kondo, Yamazaki has refused to bring him more work, hell he was even refusing to come near his room, not even the rest of his men were listening to him.

"This is truly the worst…" He sighed again as he was reaching to grab his cigarettes. "This is all that damn Perm fault…" With his eyes closed, he put the cigarette in his mouth and light it on.

If only he knew that he wasn't going to meet Gintoki once he went out… If only his peace of mind could come back. Life would be so much easier for him.

"Danna's fault?" He heard a voice from behind and got so surprised that his cigarette almost fell from his mouth. "You're saying some interesting things there Hijikata-san." His door was wide open and Sougo was smirking at him.

When did he..?! He didn't even hear the door sliding! "Wh-what are you doing here Sougo?!" He screamed before Sougo could ask something else.

"I was leaving a monster in the kitchen and came to tell you something." A monster?! "But I just heard something more interesting." He smirked even more as he was slouching on the door frame. "So Hijikata-san… Mind telling me what did Danna do?"

A chill went through his body. "No-nothing!" He answered fast, way too fast and Sougo was smirking even more. "A-anyway, what did you even came to tell me?"

"Nothing? Yeah sure." He chuckled as he was going outside the room. "Oh," he stopped, "I brought some guys to clean your room, so you better hide your porn mags unless you want to Danna to see them."

And with that, he was gone.

"WHAT?!"
