HEY GUYS! BEEN A WHILE. How have you been? Sorry, I haven't been able to log in lately. Between school work and roleplaying and blogging, I'm pretty much booked all this week as well a distracted. But, I have been working on Chapter three for you guys. And, since I've been gone for a while, I just thought giving you two chapters this time. It's about time my readers deserve better because of my declining presence. But, any who. I made the chapters a bit lengthy this time; because it's better. But, leaving my readers in anticipation is kinda fun. So, here's Chapter three and four for now. Enjoy reading. DONDAKE!

~England's pov~

How in the HELL did I get into this mess? I can't believe those three. Leaving me behind like that. Making that ninja woman feel up all over me like that damn frog! I am going to get nightmares from that now. I can't believe them. It's already my second day here, and I'm already arrested. Ridiculous! I don't understand why I had to get pulled into this.
And, who the devil is Katsura? Here I am now; sitting in this prison cell with no clue why. Where's my say in this? I did nothing wrong! I swear, if that silver-haired wanker doesn't-
"OI!" a deep and demanding voice yelled.
"OI!" he yelled out again. It took me a moment to realize that he was talking to me. I was so busy daydreaming, I wasn't aware that the officer with the black hair was standing there, the cell doors fully open. He had black hair and a smug look on his face. He also had a cigarette in his mouth. Behind him was a blond male wearing a red sleeping mask on his head. With a smirk, he spoke up.
"You know, Hijikata-san, I don't think yelling at him is going to help. I have an idea."

The kid, who I learned later, went by the name of Sougo Okita. He locked the doors to the cell with a key, while his subordinate, Assistant-Captain Toshiro Hijikata, was inside the prison cell. He fumed at Okita while said male was casually throwing back insults. I had to hold in my tongue to keep from laughing.
"Have fun, Hijikata-saaan~!" Sougo sang as he waved to Hijikata from outside the cell.
"You bastard!" Hijikata spat out. "I'm going to kill y-! Hey! Come back here!"
These officers seem a bit too unorthodox to be dealing with crime and whatnot. Their Captain, I hear, is a complete laugh also. He stalks Otae around like its serious business and woos her. Of course, that never ends well.

Sougo led us out the cell and into the front of station. I asked him why I was let out. He simply told me: "Someone called to bail you out. You're off the hook. But, keep away from the terrorist called 'Katsura'. He's bad news. Unless... you're in cahoots with him I won't hesitate to come after you." He was holding a bazooka over his shoulder with a huge smile on his face. Bloody hell, he so much reminds me of Russia. That's not good.
A familiar voice called out to me, I recognized it to be Otose and behind her was... oh, that git! I am going to kill him...
I stomped towards the wanker, my fists at my sides. I was glaring daggers at the samurai that got me in prison the first place. I couldn't manage to stop myself to thank Otose, because my anger got to me.
"YOU WANKER!" I brutally shouted at him. "YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO HELP ME, NOT GET ME INTO PRISON! IF YOU ARE WHAT YOU SAY YOU ARE, THEN, DAMMIT! I DEMAND YOU SHOW ME!" I was breathing heavily, continuing to glare at him.
"S-Sorry, Arthur-san, it's just that we got separated from you during the explosion. We accidentally took Sachan-san with us instead. But, Gin-san took care of her after that."
"How could you mistaken me for a total nutjob?" I blinked.
"W-Well, there was smoke. We didn't mean to leave you behind." Shinpachi, pressed on. "We're sorry."

I looked at him for a moment. Besides the others, he seems like the only one here with common sense. Sadly, no one seems to bother with him.
(Shinpachi: A-Actually, they do care about me. They just don't listen to me.) I sighed, having no point in fussing any further. "I suppose that's alright. Otose, thank you for bailing me out." I said, turning my direction towards her.

"It's the least I could do. This idiot here can't seem to make any dough around here. All he does is sit around eating sweets and reading JUMP."

I had no clue who she was referring to until she glared at Gintoki, who didn't seem to notice at all. He did look the type to loaf around. The deaf fish eyes and messy perm was a real giveaway. But, the real question that's been on my mind was what on earth is JUMP?

It was nightfall again. Day three begins tomorrow. Nothing else good has happened, except that crazy ninja woman keeps showing up. Doesn't she have a hobby; or at least a day job? This city has whack jobs living here. I also noticed that Gintoki's place only has one bedroom. Kagura and Sadaharu sleep in the closet, strange how that works, and Shinpachi is at home. Me: Just a pillow and a blanket on the couch.
The moon was shining from the window behind Gintoki's workspace, giving off a slightly pale, bluish light; makes me think vastly of loneliness. I turned over, closing my eyes. I tossed and turned on the couch, but I couldn't bring myself to fall asleep.
Sighing, I got up from the couch and stepped out. I sat by the steps and thought about the others back at home. "I hope Flying Mint Bunny is okay without me." I said to myself, yawning. "And, of course, America..." After that, I couldn't remember ever actually falling asleep.

The next day, I woke up back on the couch. I wondered how I ever got there when I noticed Gintoki lying down on the couch across from me. (Obviously, reading JUMP.) He looked over at me and said, "Well, well, looks like Mr. Flying Mint Bunny is awake. Sleep well?"

"Flying Mi...You were eavesdropping on me last night, weren't you?" I growled, not even realizing just how red I have gotten.

"Eh?" the silver-haired wanker smirked. "I was only joking, Arthur-kun~!"

He put a childish honorific after my name! What sort of play is this he pulling off? "I beg your pardon?"

"Oi, oi." he said to me. "Relax. I was just teasing. By the way, I had to take you inside last night. It's not good to be out in the cold like that. You know, you could get really sick."

I simply rolled my eyes. "As much as I want to hear you mummy me about my health, is there any way you could help me with my problem?"

"Good morning!" a familiar voice rang out. It was Shinpachi.

"Good morning. You seem like you're in a pretty good mood today." I told him.

"Yes, I am." he tells me. "But, sometimes with them it's a different story..." When he said them, I assumed it has something to do with Gintoki and the other people we ran into yesterday.

"So, is there anything you guys do around here?"

"We usually just sit here all day and wait for clients to show up, then we go help them out. But, I'm not so sure about your case, Arthur-san."

"Oh, that's completely alright. My place isn't going anywhere."

"So the TARDIS is broken?" Gintoki decided to add in.

"What th-Would you quit that!" I grabbed the pillow I was sleeping on and was batting it in his face. "Enough of your Doctor Who reference jokes and be serious for once!" I sighed. Must I seriously be fighting like this; in the morning? Oh. I haven't had my tea yet. "If you'll excuse me, gentleman, I'll go make myself some tea." I said as I stood.

"Arthur-san, that won't be necessary."

I blinked. "I beg your pardon?"

Shinpachi stood up and headed for the kitchen. "I'll make us some tea."

"Thank you." I said to him.

After tea, I placed my cup down and stood, fixing my yukata. If I was to stay here for the time being I might as well get comfortable and have a better look at the place.
Gintoki and the others looked up almost immediately.

"Where are you going, Arthur-san?" Shinpachi asked.

"Just thought I'd go for a walk. Yesterday's tour didn't go very well. So, I just thought I'd go sight-seeing on my own."

"Hmm..." Gintoki thought. He stuck a pinky into his ear and began digging. Disgusting.

"It might be dangerous. Here." He clipped on a leash and handed it to me. "Take this." On the other end of the leash, was the large, white dog; Sadaharu.

"Gintoki, what the hell is this?"

"A dog." he shrugged. "You have one where you're from, right?"

"Well, of course I have dogs in my time! I'm wondering why the hell you're giving him to me!"

"It's too dangerous to go alone, Arthur-kun. Take Sadaharu with you."

This guy must be some kind of idiot or something. Is he serious? He could just be making me walk his dog so he wouldn't. Such a lazy bum! Forget it. Arguing, with this git, will get me nowhere.

"Fine, fine." I gave in. "I'll take him with me. But, if he gets on my shoes, you're gonna get it." I opened the door and to my surprise, stood a woman with green hair pulled back into a braid. She was wearing a blue kimono and a white apron. Her brown eyes immediately met mine. She was holding up a black cloth tied into a little bow. "Arthur-sama," she said. "I am Tama. I work in Otose-sama's snack bar. I was told to deliver this to you." she held up the bundle and I took it from her hands.

"Thank you."

She nodded and descended down the stairs. I noticed she had on a pair of headphones or something. What was it Japan called it; Vocaloids or something? I closed the door shut and looked back at the others.

"Is she new or something? I haven't seen her before."

"That's Tama-san. She's a robot we found out by the trash. She's pretty helpful around Otose-san's place." Shinpachi explained.

"I see," I sat down and decided to open up the cloth to see what she sent me. As I opened it up, the first thing I spotted was a little card with a note on it. I started to read:

Arthur-san,

I thought it would be easier if you went around comfortably, so I got your clothes washed. Don't get it dirty.

Because, I'll only do this once.

-Otose

I flipped the card over and got an extra note:

P.S. I kept your wallet safe from Catherine. Also, since Gintoki is such a poor idiot that only spends his cash on JUMP and sweets, I thought I'd lend you some cash. Don't spend it all in place. And, don't worry about paying me back. Gintoki still owes me.

I smiled to myself and pulled out my clothes from inside and went over to the bathroom and changed. I stepped out of Gintoki's place, feeling a lot better than I have. I missed wearing my green sweater vest. I liked the yukata. It was quite comfortable, but I was glad to be back.

"Take care, Artie, aru!" Kagura shouted to me. Again with the nicknames. But, she sounded a bit like China with that last part.

I resisted the urge of scowling at her and shouting, "It's Arthur!" But, she was a young lady and I thought better of it. That's not what gentlemen do. And as such, I am going to try my best to get used to it.

Instead, I just smiled and said: "I'll be back soon."

I closed the door and went out; Sadaharu, trailing besides me. We descended down the stairs and spotted Tama. She was sweeping out front. I waved as she looked up, slowing to a stop. I waved to her and she responded with a nod then continued with her work. I walked past the snack bar and began to take a stroll.

Before I could take another step forward, something had blown up five feet from where I stood. An audible laugh was heard. The same man from yesterday popped out of the alleyway, the man in the duck costume ran behind him and before I knew it, they were being chased by the authorities again. As it turns out, the two officers from the other day were chasing after them. The black-haired male, who was called "Katsura", spat something vulgar their direction and headed northbound. I stood there watching for a moment and looked at Sadaharu, who was looking at me also. I looked back up and remained quiet. After a moment, I finally spoke up. "Well, Sadaharu, what should we do today?"
