Beautiful Release.

Chapter 3 Running With Scissors.

The girl felt eyes lying upon her and she turned and noticed a handsome young man starring at her as if lost. She smiled

"Hello there. You must be one of Shinpachi-sama's guest."

Katsura blinked, "Um, yes I am. May I ask who you are?"

The girl smiled, "I'm Elizabeth, one of Kagura-sama's helpers. May I ask why you are here and not with Shinpachi?"

"Well I'm not really his type...I can tell...."

"Hmm how can you tell if he hasn't told you?" Elizabeth smiled at Katsura

Katsura was captivated by the brightness coming off of the blonde. After a few minutes of silence Elizabeth got worried.

"Hello? Anyone in there?" She waved her hand in front of the young male's face in hope of getting a reaction.

Katsura blinked then realized what he was doing, "Sorry I was caught up in your beauty, so i zoned out." he let out a light chuckle and was surprised to see the girl blushing. "Um, are you okay?"

"No one's called me beautiful before...."

"Ah I was only telling the truth...."

"Oh." Elizabeth leaned in close to Katsura's face.

_-_-_-_-_-_

Milly is gonna be mean and cut to Hijikata!

-_-_-_-_-_-

Hijikata made his way around the giant maze of the garden before he saw it. One of the most beautiful things he has ever seen. Of course this thing was a man not an actual object. The man was just standing, staring blankly out a window into the garden. It was the prince he had spied earlier glaring at him and his family. He smirked and walked forward to stand in front of the man's view.

Yamazaki was starring at the spot his beloved little brother was standing a few moments ago when something big and ugly blocked his view. Yamazaki let his eyes travel up to the smirking man's face. He slowly opened the windows inside glass pane.

"What the heck do you want?"

Hijikata's smirk grew bigger.

"Never thought one of the royal family would treat their guest so horribly."

Yamazaki kept his face blank as he answered.

"Forgive me for my insolence, but I am a part of the royal family while you're just a nobel's son. Also if you were better looking maybe i wouldn't have a problem handing over my little brother to you fools."

"Well maybe if you were a better older brother and made him choose a wife sooner we wouldn't be here."

"The fact my Shinpachi didn't pick a wife is not a fault of mine."

"Your Shinpachi? Since when can you claim your brother as being yours?"

"He's been mine a whole lot longer then he will be any of yours!" Yamazaki thus closed the window and flipped Hijikata off in a not so graceful manner.

Hijikata stood there and simply stared at the back of the retreating crown prince. "Talk about being clingy."

_-_-_-_-_-_

Let`s go bother shinpachi shall we!

-_-_-_-_-_-

Shinpachi walked along the edge of the garden heading towards the old tree he left Gintoki at. He wasn't sure what he was going to say or what he was going to do. He wasn't even sure why he was going back, he just felt like he should.

Gintoki was standing in the spot where Shinpachi left him. He was looking at the tree and examining it. He knew Shinpachi would come back and that his harsh words were not true. He just wasn't sure when. So when Shinpachi arrived less than twenty minutes after, Gintoki wasn't that surprised.

Shinpachi did his best not to make eye contact with the man in front of him.

"I didn't come back just so you can try and work fake magic on me."

Gintoki stepped closer to the boy.

"So why did you come back?"

Shinpachi lowered his gaze more.

"I'm not sure..... But I'll find out why sooner or later."

Gintoki chuckled and pulled the younger teen close to him.

"You will see how easy it is to fall in love with a stranger."

Shinpachi allowed himself to be held in Gintoki's warm embrace.

"That'll be like running with scissors."

_-_-_-_-_

With Katsura and Elizabeth

-_-_-_-_-

Katsura closed the space between them and lightly placed his lips on Elizabeth's.
