One day I'll have the time to upload this on Wednesday again, but for now, here you guys go!

Hellooo: Thank you so much for your rewiew! Hope you like this one as well! :D

Maoruwa: These chapters are super short, but thanks to that it's that I can write once per week hahaha. But here you have the new one, hope you like it too!


There was no way, right? There was truly no way that Gintoki would be there, why would he after all? It was probably just Sougo playing with his mind, it wouldn't be weird, Sougo always played those tricks with him, this time had to be the same! Gintoki didn't have any reason to go there, and he wasn't there to see him either, after how they ended up things there was no way he was coming back to ask him to get back. It would be crazy!

Calm down, Toushiro, calm down.

He took a deep breath, even if Gintoki was really there—which he highly doubted—there had to be a good explanation of why he was there because it was obvious that it wasn't because of him… Right? No! He shook his head, it wasn't because of him, there was no way it was because of him…

"He probably just came to drink with Kondo-san! Right! Nothing else!" He explained to himself before sitting back in front of his desk. "It wouldn't be the first time he comes to drink with Kondo-san, it's not weird." He tried to convince himself of that, but his nerves were way to crazy as to calm that easily.

Just focus on your work… He grabbed his brush and dip it in the ink. Just focus. He shook his head again in an attempt to get all those thoughts away from him, but no matter how hard he tried, he only kept on coming back to his thoughts. Dammit! How was he supposed to work like that?!

"Zaki!" He screamed hoping that his time Yamazaki would listen to his call. This is just Sougo toying with me… And Yamazaki was going to tell him that there was truly no Gintoki in the headquarters and he was just going to go back to his work.

But… Did he really want that?

It would be a lie to tell that a part of him didn't want that to be real, but he couldn't listen to that, he had already ignored the part of him that wanted to run back to him, to say that he was sorry, he couldn't go back to how they were now.

That was his own choice and he wasn't going to retract it.

He was the one to chose the Shinsengumi before Gintoki, his job before a relationship, his men before a life with someone else. No matter what he wasn't going to change that, not even if he was suffering because of that same choice.

The things that happened between them were better off forgotten, he knew that well, the feelings he had were something that he had to forget as well. It was better that way.

But it was still too soon for him to ignore something like him being there!

"Yamazaki!" He called again, but he couldn't hear the footsteps of Yamazaki running to his room, he couldn't hear anything to be honest, almost as if all the people was avoiding his room… "Kondo-san…" He touched the bridge of his nose. Things really weren't working well for hm that day.

This is all Sougo's fault.

He put the brush back on his desk and got up as he was sighing, he knew that Sougo was probably playing with him, but if he gave a quick look around it wouldn't hurt him either, take a little break from all the work, walk around the headquarters, make sure that there was no silver perm around, have a little lunch, Kondo would be happy to see him out of his room. It wasn't a bad idea at all.

"It's just a little break, nothing else." He only had to make sure that Gintoki wasn't there.


It didn't take him long to clean Kondo's room, surprisingly enough the room was clean apart from some weird Otae's pics here and there, but he tried to ignore those as much as he could, in another moment he would have thrown them away, but that day he didn't have the time to do so.

I guess I'm done. He gave the room another look before going outside.

But to his own bad luck, Sougo was nowhere to be seen and the last thing he needed was to be walking around just to look for him, he has been lucky enough to not find Hijikata during the time he was cleaning, and by all means, he didn't want to challenge luck like that.

And where did Kagura went to?! He looked around quickly if only Kagura could be near he could tell her to look for Sougo while he was hiding in Kondo's room, but even looking for her was, way too risky…

He knew where the kitchen was and getting there could be really from where he was, but could it be worth it? If Kagura wasn't there by the time he arrived at the kitchen, it would be his end, and it's not like Sougo had already paid him, so he couldn't leave either.

I'm seriously going to kill him once I see him.


He started walking to the kitchen as slowly as he could, not without making sure that he checked on every corner and in every hall before making his next move. It was going to take him way too long to get to the kitchen, but it was better to be careful than finding someone that he wasn't ready to meet yet.

"Mayora?" The innocent voice from behind almost gave him a heart attack and not only because it was a voice calling him all of the sudden, but because of who was calling him. There was only one girl that would call him like that, and the fact that she was there could only mean one thing.

He had to be there too.

"C-China g-girl…" He turned back to see the little girl that was already giving a big smile. "W-what are you doing here?" Just tell me that he isn't here… His heart was beating faster than ever and the fact that she was smiling at him so easily only made him feel worse.

"Oh, Gin-chan and I came to work!" She answered happily, but he could only feel how his heart was stopping. He was there, so close to him… "But to be honest," she got a little closer and her voice was slower, "he has been all sad since you have been busy with work. So I made him come here so that you two can see each other!"

What?! Didn't she knew that they have already broken up?! Could it be that he didn't tell her?! But why would he keep that as a secret?

"So you should take the chance to see Gin-chan!" She added happily, but there was a little concern in her voice. "He really misses you, you know? But he is always hiding that from me, saying that he is okay and that he would call you later. But I know he doesn't want to bother you while you work…"

That guy… Hiding that from his kid, even lying to them like that, it was so typical of him. So he misses me?

"So if you're not that busy, why don't you go and see him? You probably miss him too, right?" She giggled.

Miss him… It was silly to think about that after he was the one saying that they should break up, but he really missed him.

"I gue—"

"Kagura? Are you there?"
