Author's Note: I-I'm back, everyone! Sorry for another long hiatus... I try hard to not do those. I just get addicted to my Naruto fanfic and... Yeah... I also have a few things I need to tell you all.
I changed the summary! I hope I made it better!
I also changed how the OC looks. I think I made him look more like a 12 year old, cause that's what he is. Check the Story Picture to see how he looks now!
My writing style has also changed. I've been getting a lot of practice on my Naruto story, so my writing style has gotten exceedingly better. I started this story as a beginner... And I'm gonna continue it as a... Idk. Just know I'm better now!
Summary: My name is Jalen Brown. I've suddenly been sucked into the world of Gintama... With no way out. Well... Getting out isn't exactly my first priority... Especially when I'm too busy laughing at their crazy antics! I would have never thought I'd ever be in any type of danger, though. Like starving. OC Self-Insert
Disclaimer: I don't own Gintama. I'm sure you've noticed that already.
Into the World of Gintama

Ah ah ah~
Let's go out free up your mind
Sweet dream on the other side
I've finally opened my eyes
To see the world so wide
'cause when your thoughts fade to black
The shields you build start to crack
So change your plan of attack
I'm never going
Go back to
The days when I lost you
(Hey baby why?)
You left me
You said 'cause I had to
(I want to cry)
I broke my vows and ran but now
I've finally grown a backbone
So fxck your shxt
Throw down that's it
'Cause babe, you are not alone
Say it ain't so and tell me no
But baby, I'm here to stay
So throw your woes and I'll kiss your tears away
Livin' on the run don't scare me none
So baby, for you
I'll pray hard every day
The two of us will be okay
So come on out and let's play.
La la la
Ah ah ah...
"Well, there were times when she wouldn't come home for two or three days, but for one whole week," the man, our client, trailed off. His eyes were downcast in sorrow and a bit of shame. I'd be ashamed, too, if I had to call the Yorozuya for help. "She hasn't contacted us once, and none of her friends know anything."
We were in the man's house, sitting on the floor with a table between us. Gin-san, Shinpachi-san, and I were on one side while our client was on the other. Gin-san and Shinpachi-san had a cup of hot tea in front of them while I had my cold Tea-kun in my hands.
Kagura-chan was outside, looking at the little pond in our client's backyard. Gin-san looked painfully bored and tired at the man's rambling while Shinpachi-san listened on intently. I listened at most times, but there were times where I'd just blank out and think about other things.
Like how I've been stuck in the Gintama world for at least a month now. Well, no one seems to really age... And I hardly see a calendar anywhere... So I'm just guessing I've been here for at least a month. Thinking about time is really pointless, though, since as I said earlier, no one really ages.
Over the time that I've been here, though... I'm starting to feel like I belong in this place. Every time I wake up... It just feels so normal that I'm in an Anime. I still laugh at some of the stuff that everyone does, but it's frightening me that I'm laughing less and less each day.
Ah. I blanked out again.
"Even if I'm speaking as a parent, she's a beautiful girl," he took out a piece of folded paper from his shirt. "I'm worried that she got mixed up in something horrible."
He handed Gin-san the piece of paper, which he looked at dully. Shinpachi-san and I brought our faces closer to see the picture clearly.
Beautiful? B-B-Beau...
"Hahahahaha!" I couldn't help myself from laughing at the picture of his daughter. A fat, dark-skinned girl with long blonde hair doing the peace sign. Her eyes were half-lidded like how Gin-san's are and her nose was just... "Hahahahaha! Oh, God! I'm gonna die!"
I fell on my back, clutching my stomach. Tears were flowing from my eyes like a waterfall. She's ugly! She's the ugliest thing I've ever seen! She strangely reminds me of ham, but she's just ugly!
"Len-kun! Control yourself!" Shinpachi-san yelled in a whisper. He turned back towards our client, sheepishly smiling. "I'm sorry... He's just a little kid... Forgive him, please..."
"What's wrong, kid?" The client asked. "I know she's beautiful and all, but even beautiful people can get in some serious trouble, too."
"What trouble could she possibly get in?! Unless they mistaked her for a pig and sent her to the slaughter house, there's nothing that could have happened to her!" I exclaimed while still laughing, rolling around on the floor now. Oh, God! I'm going to piss my pants!
"Hey, stop it..!" Shinpachi-san mumbled, his face deadly serious for some reason. "Do you want to ruin our rare job opportunity? I swear I won't buy you anymore tea if you keep this up."
I instantly stopped laughing and sat back down beside Gin-san, saluting. "Yessir!"
Shinpachi-san sighed, looking back at the half-confused client. "But are you really fine with us? Wouldn't it be better to consult the police?" He asked.
The client shook his head. "I can't do something like that. We are a prestigious family that has worked with the Shogunate and the Tokugawa family," he explained, his face saddened again. "If my daughter's nightly activities were known, it would shame the family. I want her brought back in secrecy."
So, after our client explained to us the clubs she normally goes to, we all headed off. I had to explain to Kagura-chan the situation, since she was too busy playing around. Gin-san still looked tired while Shinpachi-san just looked like he regularly does. He warned us that this is an Amanto-Human club, meaning both aliens and humans party here.
Even I know how dangerous that is.
If there's one thing I'm scared of in this world, it's Amanto. I mean... I'm not scared, scared of them... But I'm mostly cautious towards them. I know they sometimes take advantage over the law... And I know that since they're probably going to be drunk in this club...
I'm gonna have to be careful.
The music was blasting in the club, and Amanto and Human both were dancing like maniacs. It was slightly intimidating.
Shinpachi-san and Gin-san sat down at a table and ordered Kagura-chan and I to ask around while they watched, since Kagura-chan was playing around during the first part and I almost got us fired at the beginning. I'm pretty sure it's because Gin-san has a hangover and just doesn't feel like working, though.
Kagura-chan looked unfazed as she walked over to a chicken-type Amanto, handing the alien a picture of the girl we're searching for. I stayed beside the older girl, kinda feeling a little self conscious all of a sudden. I don't know why, though.
"Huh?" The Amanto looked at the picture carefully. It's voice was super deep. "I don't know this girl."
"I heard she came here a lot," Kagura-chan told the chicken. I slowly nodded in agreement, the chicken blankly looking at us.
"Even if she did, little girl, I can't tell Earthlings' faces apart," the chicken said. That's... Kinda racist. "Is there a name?"
"Uhh..."
Kagura-chan and I looked at each other. Then back at the chicken.
"Ha-Hammy."
"P-Porky."
"Don't make stuff up!" The Amanto raged, slamming it's hands on the table. "What kind of parents would name their kid that?! And you both said different names!"
Kagura-chan blinked. "I forgot, but no big deal..."
I shrugged. "They both represent a type of meat, I guess."
"Heeey! Are you two serious about finding her?!"
"Not really," I deadpanned, getting on my tippy-toes and grabbing the picture back from the Amanto. "Thanks for not really helping, I guess."
Kagura-chan and I walked over to another Amanto while the chicken we just left raged after us. We kept on asking people, but no one seemed to know who/where the girl is/at. And some of the Amanto got angry at us for interrupting their dance! Can you believe that?!
Kagura-chan got tired of looking fast and grabbed this fat boy with an afro. "Come with us," she ordered, leading him to Shinpachi-san and Gin-san. Gin-san was walking away somewhere, though. Surprisingly, the boy nonchalantly followed us, for some very, very odd reason.
"Shinpachi!" Kagura-chan called out. He turned around to look at us. "This is annoying, so let's pass this off as her," she said, pointing at the guy.
"It's humid and stinky in here. I want to gooo~" I whined, taking a sip of my Tea-kun. Ah... Tea-kun...
Shinpachi-san literally face-palmed. "Seriously, what do you guys think work is? Geez..." He suddenly glared, starting to rage. "Anyway, there's no way we can pass that off as her!" He pointed to the creepily silent guy. "That's a Hamilton, not Hammy!"
Kagura-chan sucked her teeth. "Ham tastes the same, no matter which one you eat, idiot!"
"Exactly. You're really pathetic, Shinpachi-san," I added, drinking some more of my Tea-kun.
"What?! You're defending that idea?!" Shinpachi-san asked, slightly irked. He then looked at me. "And don't agree with her just because you want to leave!"
Suddenly, and I mean suddenly, the guy just fell on the floor! Is he sleeping?! He's so big he even made the ground shake..!
"Hamilton!" Kagura-chan screeched.
"Hey! Pointless characters shouldn't take up a whole scene!" Shinpachi-san exclaimed.
Kagura-chan bent down, slightly shaking the guy. "Hamilton! It's because you drank too much!"
"...Are we really going to spend time on this guy..?"
Kagura-chan rolled the guy on his back so we could see his face. The guy's eyes were still open... As if he was... D-Dead..?
"Hey... This guy isn't drunk," Shinpachi-san mumbled, also bending beside the guy. He's dead, isn't he?! We're the last ones to communicate with him (In some way...)... They're gonna question us and stuff! Auuuggghhhh! This is so frustrating! And he's dead!
"Ah, geez, it's okay," someone said, making us turn our heads to meet them. It was just the chicken that we questioned, though. He bent down to pick the fat guy up. "I'll take care of this." He easily draped the guy over his shoulder, turning around to walk away. "Everyone's all shabu, shabu, shabu, shabu these days."
"Shabu? What the heck does that mean?" I asked.
"High-Leg?" Kagura-chan guessed... Ignorantly. How does that even..?!
"There's been a new kind of drug circulating around these parts," the Amanto explained. "It's supposed to be pretty bad stuff, so you guys watch out, too." And with that he was gone, carrying the fat guy with him to who-knows-where.
Shinpachi-san, Kagura-chan, and I just put that fainted guy and that warning to the back of our heads, deciding to just sit down and wait for Gin-san. None of us were going to do any drugs, so it really didn't pertain to us. The only thing we were worrying about is finding that girl... But we had to wait for Gin-san to do that.
"Where is Gin-san anyway?" I asked Shinpachi-san.
"He went off to the bathroom to probably throw up or something. He has a huge hangover from last night," Shinpachi-san answered. "I told that guy to not drink too much... He just doesn't listen, though."
"No one listens to you anyway, Shinpachi," Kagura-chan said. I laughed while the glasses-wearing-boy raged on the red-headed-girl. At least they aren't calling him Glasses quite yet... Then he'll really be raging.
I brought a hand to my messy, blue hair, bringing it out of my eyes as I took another drink of my Tea-kun. Shinpachi-san stopped yelling at Kagura-chan sooner or later. We were mostly silent, the partying around us making sure that the silence wouldn't be awkward. I hate awkward silences.
The only noise between us was the ice in my tea mixing around, Shinpachi-san's foot tapping on the ground, and Kagura-chan humming now and then. I don't know how long we were waiting, but I know it was pretty long, because Shinpachi-san started to talk sooner or later.
"Gin-san is late," he mumbled, the tapping of his feet getting faster. "I have a bad feeling about this place..."
I almost face-palmed. "What gave it away, Shinpachi-san? All of the drunk Amanto dancing around us, or how Gin-san isn't here by now?"
He ignored me. "Let's leave as soon as we can."
"I'll go look for him," Kagura-chan said, standing up from her seat. "...Ah?"
I nonchalantly looked over at the girl.
I dropped my Tea-kun to the floor almost instantly.
A bunch of scary looking Amanto were crowded around us, each of them sneering. How they managed to get around us without us knowing? I'll probably never know... Because one of them had a gun placed on Kagura-chan's cheek, stopping her from getting up. I'm pretty sure that if he shoots... I'll be next...
What the heck is going on anyway?!
"So, you're the ones who've been sniffing around this place?" A green Amanto with bandages around his forehead and a dark beard said. He was also the one with Kagura-chan on gunpoint.
"Wh-Who are you?!" Shinpachi-san asked. I scrambled to the floor to grab my Tea-kun before any of these dirty aliens got their nasty hands on it.
"Don't play dumb. You're the ones who've been looking around for us, eh?"
What?! No! No, we weren't!
I wanted to scream those words out, but my throat seemed to be closed for the moment. Or maybe it's because I don't want a gun pressed to my face..? Meh... Either way... We're so screwed...
"If you want to know so much, we'll teach you... The terror that is the Harusame Space Pirates!"
After that... Everything happened sooo fast. Kagura-chan was bashed in the head with the gun, instantly knocking her out. Shinpachi-san stood up to do something, but was easily dispatched by another alien. I clutched my Tea-kun harder as I realized what was happening... After I realized they were going to try and hurt me..!
"GIN-SA-!"
"Don't make another sound, kid," one of the aliens ordered. "If you just do what we say and not make much noise... I'm sure we won't have to hurt you... Yet."
The grip on my Tea-kun weakened as all of the Amanto glowered over me. I dropped it on the floor completely when one of them picked me up and held me over their shoulder.
He stunk.
I trembled.
They picked Kagura-chan and Shinpachi-san off of the floor.
We started to walk.
This is when I realized that I left my... My... MY TEA-KUN ON THE FLOOR! AND WE WERE BEING KIDNAPPED BY AMANTO! AND GIN-SAN IS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN!
"Aaaaaaauuuuugggghhhh!" I started screaming, trying desperately to get out of his grip and run away. "Let me goooo! I left my Tea-kun! Let me goooo!" I then realized screaming to be let go wasn't going to make them let me go.
So I screamed for help. "GIN-SAAAAAAN! GIN-SAAAAAAAAN!"
"I told you to keep it quiet, brat!" The one carrying me yelled.
A hard hit on my head. A pain-filled yelp. Then darkness.
The last thing I heard was, "Shinpachi! Kagura! Len! Hey, what happened?!"
Then everything was quiet...
