Into the World of Gintama
Episode 3: When you make a promise, keep it till your death
"Come on, I've told you we've got nothing to do with it!" Gin whined, his arms behind his head.
After Shinpachi explained to Otose what happened, it was too late. She called the police before we got there, and they sent us to jail. We were now currently being interrogated, which was really a waste of my time. God... I'm hungry...
There were two interrogators in front of us. One sitting down and one standing up. I'll call the one sitting down, Bob. I'll call the other one standing up, Joe.
"Nothing changes, you know?" Bob said, looking at some papers in his hand. "The culprit always says he's got nothing to do with it." Joe was now pacing behind Bob.
"We told you what happened, and I'm pretty sure we have witnesses. Including the security tape that had that dog guy hitting the bomb out of Gin-San's hands." I said. "So just let us go, I don't have time for this!"
I really wasn't in a good mood. I'm beginning to get homesick, and I don't remember this part in the Anime at all. Ugh...
Kagura was eating... For some reason. And Shinpachi was shaking. Is he nervous, I guess this is a good reason to be, though.
"Yeah Yeah. Guilty people always says things like: "Oh, I don't remember anything about that," or something like that." Bob said. He then smirked. "Come on, why don't you just confess? Or did you think that you'd get off if you keep on denying it?"
"Shut up. Shut up. Shut up!" I slammed my hand on the table. "If we did do it, don't you think that we would have hid? If we did do it, don't you think that we would attack you two? It would be four against two, we could easily win. But..." I paused. "Since we had nothing to do with it, we won't do anything. We won't harm anyone, because we know this is a big understanding. So just shut the fuck up and let us out!"
Everyone froze, and Joe even spilt his coffee.
"Are you going through puberty?" Kagura asked.
"Come on. Quit acting like that." Gin told me.
Shinpachi just smiled, and gave me a thumbs up. Hm... I wonder why...
A few minutes later...
"To think that they would think we were the bombers." Gin said. "Stupid pigs. They kept us there for three whole days."
Kagura put up her umbrella, and Shinpachi stretched. We were finally out of that place... I guess what I said scared them into the truth.
"Well, it turned out OK." Shinpachi said. "Len-Kun got us out."
"Or rather, Voca-Freak threatened them until they let us go." Gin deadpanned. I sucked my teeth, and kicked up some dirt. I wasn't in the mood right now.
They call me Voca-Freak sometimes because I have an... Unhealthy obsession with Vocaloid. But, so what...
The other reason I was pissed was because I missed the new Vocaloid song. There was a concert, and since I was stuck in that shitty jail, I missed it.
"Well, it's not that unusual for someone who's usually calm to go crazy under pressure." Kagura noted.
"Well, whatever." Gin walked away and stood a few feet from us. "I'm gonna take a piss over here."
And Kagura turned around. "And I'm gonna take a puke over here."
"Stop! We're on TV here!" Shinpachi yelled. "Come on! They'll never leave us alone if we deface their place." He started to walk away. "I'm going home."
Gin watched him go. "Oh, come on. We can't have a comedic Anime without the straight man."
I can't believe that they'll still talk like their in an Anime... When they look as real as anybody... Which is very real.
"I guess you'll have to fill in for him, Len-Kun."
Suddenly, Kagura started puking. I guess this is where a straight man is supposed to do his thing.
"Kagura-Chan! Didn't he tell you not to puke?! Gosh!" I quickly covered my nose. "And ewww!"
Suddenly, a man wearing brown clothing jumped from the police station roof. He landed on his feet, but then slipped and hit his head on the ground. "Ow!" Then he quickly rose up and covered his nose. "... And ewww!"
Police ran outside then. "Oi! Stop that guy, he's a crimina-" They all covered their noses. "Oh, gross!"
"... What?" Gin muttered. Isn't it self explanatory? This guy is escaping from jail, and...
We turned around and saw the criminal having Kagura in a head lock. "Step back! Don't you care what happens to this puking girl?" He yelled.
"You!" The police growled.
"Don't give me that." The man told them, then turned to Gintoki. "Hey! You with the natural perm! Can you drive?!"
"Yeah." Gin answered.
"Are you crazy?! Are you really going t-"
"Shut it, Len." Gin demanded. Oh my gosh... Ugh...
The police took out the swords in anger. "Did you really think you could get away with a hostage?!"
"Oooh no! He's got meee! I'm so scared!" Kagura wailed. Was she faking? It seems like it...
...
That thought made me sweat drop.
Gin was smirking. "Well, I've guess we've got no choice but to do what he say's..."
I sighed. I guess Gin has a plan, so I'll just follow along.
"Oh... Well, we have to. We wouldn't want Kagura to get killed." I said as we began to move to the police car. Gin and I got in front, while the man and Kagura got in the back. Gin drove away, and started speeding down the road.
Doesn't he know kids are in this car? Well, I'm sure Kagura can survive a car crash... But I definitely can not.
"Well, that went nicely..." Gin started. "Do you really think you can get away with this, though?"
I looked back, and saw Kagura fast asleep. She was drooling on his arm, but he didn't seem to care.
"Just turn right." He replied.
"Come on, it's more likely that you'd win the lottery than get out of this country." Gin kept trying to get the man to talk. I wonder why... I wonder why all of this... I think Kagura can get out any time she wants.
"I don't intend to escape entirely, just for today." The man finally answered. "If I can be free for today alone, that would be fine."
"Why?" I asked out of curiosity. I didn't mean to talk... But I might as well try to understand what's happening. Maybe I can remember what happens in this episode.
"Today's a special day." He told me. I wanted more... But oh well. Beggars can't be choosers.. I think.
"Sure, if you get caught trying to leave the country and never get out again, then this would be a special day..." Gin said. Was he mocking the man..? I don't know...
Suddenly, we all heard police sirens behind us. "Floor it!" The man yelled. "I can't get caught now!"
"As you wish!" Gin stomped down on the pedal. "Boost!"
Now... What happens next... It's the most... Terrifying thing ever. It's.. Kind of hard to explain. I'll try though.
We drove through a sign and was now about to hit all these people. Why were we driving through a busy street, anyway?!
"Outta the way! Outta the way!" Gin yelled as people ran and screamed. I pray we don't hit anyone... Please don't hit anyone...
"Stop, dumbass!" The police driving behind us yelled. "Did you really think you could get away?!"
"Are you saying that I can't get away?" Gin asked. "That just makes me want to get away even more!"
"That shouldn't! It should make you want to stop!" I screamed as we sped down the street. Eight police cars were chasing us... We were so going to jail...
We kept driving, but then...
Two police cars came into view and blocked our way.
"Turn left!" The man yelled.
"I was going to!" Gin yelled back. He turned the steering wheel, and we narrowly avoided smashing into the car. Two police cars behind us did, though...
Are they trying to kill us?!
There were still a few more police chasing us, sadly...
I looked back to the front, and screamed as I saw we were about to crash into a building. "AHHH!? G-G-GIN-SAN! STOP THE CAR, PLEASE! JUST STOP THE CAR!"
I stuck my head out the window and yelled, "SOMEBODY HELP US! PLEASE! I'M A HOSTAGE, I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
"Shut up, brat!" Gin demanded as the car started to fly. "Here we goooooooo!"
The car... How do I explain this...
Gin did something... And the car started to fly. It... Flew...? And we landed on the side of the building.
Yes... It wasn't a typo. We landed on the side of the building... And we started driving on the side of the building...
"Holy shit..." I muttered.
I wanted to look back, to see if the cars crashed... But I was so scared.
Even though it was kind of hot... I was shivering.
"We did it!" Gin exclaimed happily. We did it..?
"Yeah... You almost... Made me faint..." I told him. I wanted to say more. To curse him out... But the words wouldn't come out.
"... Huh?!" Gin exclaimed as he looked back and saw... 20 police flying up... Trying... To...
"AHHHHH!" I screamed. The adrenaline was back, my blood was pumping again.
Our car started to fly, and we maneuvered our way pass the many objects flying around. This is madness... I can't... Take... Anymore...
The last thing I heard before I blacked out was, "Len-Kun! Len-Kun! Len-Kun!"
...
I woke up on some kind of chair. It was fluffy... Way nicer than the chair at Yorozuya.
... Wait... What?!
I quickly stood up, only fall down helplessly. My legs weren't working, or they were broken. I don't know... I just know I can't walk for some odd reason.
I looked around, and gasped at where I was. It was a very neat room, with plenty of shelves and many books. Everything was red... The walls, shelves, books, everything!
"Are you amazed?" Someone asked me. I quickly turned around, saw a man. He looked around sixty years old, and had brown, curly hair. "That chair you're sitting on is made with the finest elements."
I sweatdropped. "Actually... I wasn't amazed by that..."
"Oh!" He laughed. "You were amazed by how neat this room is! Well, I try."
"No..." I sweatdropped again. "I'm amazed by how many books you had... And how everything is red."
"Oh... Really?" The man scoffed. "That's not really awesome or anything." This man is crazy... I can tell... "Well, I can't tell you much. I just wanted to meet you." ...I really need to go... "I can only tell you this... Your family is fine. I sent a part of your soul to be with them, while you stay here in the Gintama world."
"Wait, What?!" I yelled. This was... What?
"So don't worry about your family... Have fun!" He clapped his hands, and everything started to Ger blurry. "... You never know when you'll die in this world... Kufufufu.."
"No... WAIT!" I tried to move, but I couldn't. I just watched as everything turned black
...
I woke up, and to my surprise... we weren't flying in a police car getting away from the police. We also weren't in jail.
We were... In a concert...
"You're finally awake?" Gin asked me. I realized he was carrying me... Did he carry me all the way here? I looked down, and saw... Water... On my shirt and pants. "Oh, sorry. I sort of had to drag you while we were in the sewer." Gin told me while picking his nose.
"YOU JERK! I'M ALL SMELLY NOW!" I yelled. He just laughed. So did Kagura... Who I just noticed was right beside me.
I looked behind me, and saw the criminal enjoying the concert too. I sweatdropped...
"Why are we helping a criminal?" I whispered in Gin's ear.
He didn't answer me. Instead, he pointed to the front of the concert. I looked over the people in front of me, and gasped as I saw Otsu-Chan.
Now I remember the episode we were in... How could I be so dumb?!
"Everyone!" She yelled. "Well, I'd like to thank you for coming to my performanceveryone!"
... What was that? That's... Supposed to be cute?
"Performanceveryone!" The crowd echoed.
Are you all... Insane?
"So, don't mind me." She continued. "Just have fun, everyonecromancer!"
There she goes again...
"Necromancer!" The crowd echoed once more.
I'm pretty sure... They're all insane.
"And so, for my first number, I'd like to sing "Your Father's a Chome-Chome." She told us. "So, listen and enjoy, will youlterior motive?"
"Ulterior Motive!" The crowd yelled. I'm really starting to get a headache...
The music started playing, and the crowd cheered as loud as they could.
"What the shit is this?" Gin deadpanned.
"You took the words right outta my mouth..." I deadpanned.
"This is the latest hot pop idol, Terakado Otsuu-Chan's first live show." The criminal answered.
Gin jumped up and kicked the criminal in the head. "You idiot! This is what you call your 'Special Day'?!" I'm expected him to rant. "You broke out of jail for a pop idol?!"
"Now that I think about it, it does sound very stupid." I noted. "But who's the idiot that helped him? Hm..?"
This seemed to anger Gin even more. "Did you intend to throw a monkey-wrench into my life for your own amusement?!" Gin looked down at the man pitifully. "I'm gonna kick yer ass back to prison, ya ingrate."
The criminal looked up, surprisingly not mad. "It's just, now I've fulfilled the promise which, when my life went in the crapper, I though I'd never be able to keep." He jumped up. "Well then, let's make some noise! L-O-V-E! O-TSU-U! L-O-V-E! O-TSU-U!"
Gin grabbed me, then walked over to Kagura. "Let's go, Kagura-Chan."
Kagura pouted. "Aww... I want to stay, it's fun."
"Kagura-Chan, this is mind numbing." I informed her. "If you don't want to be brain dead, I advise you to come with us."
Gin started to walk away, and I followed. "Good lord, they're like a cult..." I chuckled. He was right. "It feels kind of claustrophobic, and it's smelly..."
"L-O-V-E! O-TSU-U!" Someone way louder than the rest screamed. The sad thing was... We recognized the voice.
We turned, and saw Shinpachi in front of a whole group of people. They were all matching, and screaming that annoying chant. L-o-v-e my ass.
"Louder, maggots!" Shinpachi ordered. No! Quieter!
"Yes sir!" They obeyed. "L-O-V-E! O-TSU-U! L-O-V-E! O-TSU-U!"
"Hey, you over there!" Shinpachi pointed to some random guy. "Why are you spacing out?! Yell with the rest of them!"
"Yes sir, Captain!"
"Oi... When did you become the captain?" Gin asked from behind.
"I've been the captain of the Otsuu-Chan cheering section since the day I was born!" He looked back, and screamed. "Gah! Gin-San, what are you doing here?!"
"That's what I wanted to ask you." Gin responded. "What are you doing leading this sorry bunch? What are you gonna say to your sister?"
"It's none of her business what I do in my free time, I'm not a little kid!" Shinpachi yelled. I can tell he was trying to act tough in front of his group of losers.
"Hey, you two over there." We all turned to see a green haired lady. She looked... About fifty... "Don't be walking around during the show. You'll be a nuisance to the rest of the audience."
"Yes, Manager-San!" Shinpachi saluted. "I'll kick them out!"
"Oh, you're the cheering section? Keep up the good work." She told him. "This is her first live show, so we must make it a successful one."
"L-O-V-E! O-TSU-U!" The criminal shouted. I can recognize his voice now, sadly.
The green haired lady looked at him and gasped. "Darling..."
The criminal heard her voice and turned around. They just stared at each other, I guess in shock.
Ah~ Love.
The green haired lady grabbed the criminal by the arm, and they rushed out the door. I wonder... Hm...
Gin walked out a few seconds after them.
"Ne, Len-Kun..." Shinpachi started. "I wanted to thank you for what you did today."
"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked.
"When you snapped on that interrogator... You got us out of jail." Shinpachi looked down. "If you hadn't said anything... I wouldn't be able to come to this concert, so I thank you."
I looked away. "Hmph... I was just pissed off. I missed my Vocaloid concert, and I was tired of sleeping in that nasty jail cell." I looked at the crowd of people. "So, I understand if you like this stuff. And you're welcome."
He smiled. "Alright! COME ON, LOUDER! L-O-V-E! O-TSU-U! L-O-V-E! O-TSU-U!"
I sweatdropped.
Geeks...
Suddenly, however. This... Blob thing... started yelling. "I can't stand it!" It grew to be about... Well... Gigantic!
It was humongous, really. How could Shinpachi let an Amanto join his group of geeks?
"Captain! A member of the cheering section has gone out of control!" No duh...
"He's one of us?" Shinpachi asked. "I thought he was just a mannequin..."
Really, Shinpachi? Really?
"Stop you scoundrel!" A group of geeks with sticks ran up to the monster.
The monster just turned around and whacked them all with his gigantic hand. "Otsuu-Chan!"
I decided to be the smart person, and ran on stage to protect Otsuu. Even though her music is killing my brain cells.
"Don't worry, Otsuu-Chan. I'll protect you." I told her. She just pointed to the monster and screamed.
It's... Stomach opened up, you could say. It had razor sharp teeth, and a big slimy tounge.
"Um... Never mind." I muttered as I turned to the side and walked away. I don't even have a weapon, Otsuu can die for all I care.
"Otsuu-Chan, become one with me!" The monster exclaimed. Tentacles were now coming out of it's stomach's mouth. Yeah, you're screwed Otsuu-Chan.
The green haired lady ran to Otsuu. "Run, Otsuu!"
"But, my legs have given out... Oh God." She replied.
The monster reached back, then reached forward to grab Otsuu and her mother. Oh, this is bad. "Where are you, Gin-San!"
Suddenly, a man with a white bag over his head blocked the attack.
"W-who's that?" Shinpachi asked.
I think I know who it is...
"Otsuu, get out of here!" The man told her. Ah, it's the criminal... Told you I remembered his voice.
The tentacles suddenly charged at the criminal, and smashed him into the wall. The criminal dropped down, unconscious.
"Charge! Protect Otsuu-Chan!" Shinpachi yelled as he and his gang charged at the monster.
It was wild then. Shinpachi's gang all grabbed on to a part of the monster, and was beating it up.
But... It didn't last long. The monster got the geeks off of him, and was about now about to smash Shinpachi.
Suddenly, Kagura was in the air, and she slashed at the monster with her umbrella. The monster stepped back, surprised, but not down yet.
"Kagura-Chan!" Shinpachi exclaimed.
"That's the fourth time I saved you this month!" Kagura yelled.
"What are you doing?" The monster yelled.
"That's my linebacker!" Gin yelled back. He was now standing with Kagura and Shinpachi, so I decided to join the group too.
"Hi guys." I greeted.
"You bastard!" Shinpachi yelled at me. "You were just going to let Otsuu-Chan die!"
"That monster is terrifying. As if I'm going to risk my life fighting it. I'm just a twelve year old boycott." I deadpanned. It's actually quite fun doing your words like that.
"All of you, get out of my wayward soul!" The monster exclaimed. Wow... Everyone's doing it. The tentacles shot out it's stomach again, and charged at Gin.
Gin took out his wooden sword and dodged the attack. "I'm going to have to cut you to shredded beef cuts!"
"Don't remind me how hungry I amazing." I deadpanned.
He swung his sword and cut all the tentacles in half. Sadly, more tentacles shot out. This is insane.
"Wait a minute!" Shinpachi yelled as he jumped up. "I'll be the one to protect her todays of our lives!" He swung and hit the monster on top of it's head.
The monster fell down, finally defeated. "Whoo! Good job, Shinpachi-San!" I cheered.
They all smiled, and so did I.
"He's-" The criminal started.
"Hey, old man." Gin interrupted. He tossed the criminal some flowers, for some odd reason... "I could only find that many. It falls a bit short of a million, but make up the rest with fatherly love."
We began to walk away, and I waved goodbye.
"So... Gin-San..." I started. "Is he your new lover? It seems that way, since you we're looking for flowers while an Amanto was running loose."
Gin almost choked, and smacked me on the head. "You idiot! Moron! Brat! Of course not, you'll never understand!"
"Ow... That really hurt..." I rubbed my aching head. "I was just joking... Gosh."
After a moment of silence, we all laughed.
Even though I'm starving... I can still find a way to smile...
That's what Gintama is all about.
"This chapter isn't over yet, Otsuu-Chan wasn't finished singing!" Shinpachi exclaimed.
"Yeah, the concert is kind of fun!" Kagura agreed.
Ugh... I sighed.
"I guess I'll listen to one more song."
A few minutes later...
"Well, everyone..." Otsuu started. "A lot has happened, but I hope you'll listen againophobia!"
"Wait... Does that one even work?" I asked Gin. He just shook his head, and sighed.
"Gynophobia!" The crowd echoed.
"Now, I'm dedicating this song to my own father..." She informed. "Your Father's A Chome-Chome!" She fistpumped. "Please listen and enjoyarmulke!"
The crowd cheered, and the music started.
Chome-Chome! Chome-Chome! Chome-Chome! Chome-Chome!
Everyone should know, but everyone looks away.
Everyone should have heard, but when it comes down to it, they shut up!
Chome-Chome! Chome-Chome!
Chome-Chome... That's my seductive invitation.
Chome-Chome... That's my secret intonation.
Chome-Chome! Chome-Chome! Chome-Chome! Chome-Chome!
I'm so sorry, everyone! I feel, my writing skills left me half way through this chapter! I feel... So bad...
Anyway, I hope you like it. And give me tips on how to write better, if you want.
Bye nii~! Have a nice dayold ham!
