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

Into the World of Gintama
Chapter 12: If You're Gonna Cosplay, Do It With All Your Heart Part 2
Where..? Where am I..?
I slowly opened my eyes, but everything was too blurry. I had to wait a couple of minutes before I could actually see, and even then my mind was blank.
What am I doing? I'm lying on the cold, steel floor... My hands are constricted together behind my back and my ankles are constricted together... I'm unable to move... And it's not just because I'm tied up... I feel super drowsy...
Where am I? I'm in some sort of bright room... An office building? I don't hear anyone, though...
What happened? I was... I was kidnapped? Yeah! Kagura-chan, Shinpachi-san, and I were kidnapped by Amanto! They're called... The Harusame Space Pirates? I think so... Everything happened so fast... And...
And I left my Tea-kun..! I left my precious Tea-kun on the dirty floor in that dirty club! Because of those damn stupid Amanto!
...Is that why I can't move and I'm super drowsy? They knocked us out and then drugged us... I think...
Suddenly, I heard mechanical doors opening. They were opening in the room I was in. I had a tiny bit of hope that it was Gin-san coming in to save us, but that hope quickly diminished when I heard someone... Someone completely unknown talking.
"These are the guys who were running around after us," one of them said. Definitely an Amanto... The voice is all squeaky like one.
"Yes. They've been quite a problem, but they were easy to catch," the other one said. Unlike the first one, this one sounds human. It's a cool, calm-like voice... But I doubt he's human. "They're probably members of the Nationalist Faction who hates Amanto."
I'm not part of any faction that hates Amanto... But after this experience I might as well join! If I... If I survive.
"Ribbet."
Uh... What? Did that squeaky voice guy just ribbet? Is it a frog Amanto? That's... Scary.
"There was another noisy samurai. But he was dealt with, as was another noisy costumer."
Noisy samurai..? No... They couldn't have... They couldn't have killed Gin-san! H-He's the main character..! Yeah... So, why? Why don't I remember any of this in the Anime? Is this a manga-only episode?!
Then Gin-san should still survive! But... Why do I feel so scared..? What about me?! Will I survive?! Oh, no...
Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, noooo..!
"I told you not to make such obvious moves. There's a limit to how much I can make the Shogunate look the other way!" Frog Amanto...
"Yes, I understand. It's thanks to you that we can do business freely." Cool-Voice Amanto.
"So, how will you dispose of these guys?"
Uh-oh... We're so screwed. I'm pretty sure Shinpachi-san and Kagura-chan are also in here... But I'm too scared to let them know I'm awake! I gotta escape, though... I gotta save Tea-kun..!
"We'll beat their base's location out of them. I don't want our work disrupted any further."
"Their ringleader is probably that Katsura guy, ribbet. They're bastards who even dare to bare their fangs at the Shogunate."
Katsura?! I'm not with Katsura, you idiots! I'm with the Yorozuya! Yorozuya, damn it!
Suddenly, the door opened again, meaning they either left or someone else came in. The latter was proved when I heard a new voice.
"Daraku-san, excuse me," the new guy said. "There are some weirdos out front."
"Weirdos?" The cool-voice guy pirated. I'm guessing he's this Daraku-san. He sighed, "Dispose of them however you want. I'm busy."
No! Nooo! Go outside and forget about us! I don't want to die! Please..!
Wait! Weirdos outside? Weirdos..? G-Gin-san?! Please let it be Gin-san to save us! Please!
Suddenly... Suddenly the drowsiness seemed to multiply in effect. Before I knew anything... I was drifting back into sleep. Yes... Deep... Peaceful... S-Sle...
Zzzzzz...
A splash of water hitting me in the face woke me up again. I heard people yelling, but I couldn't quite catch what they were saying. My eyes were also blurry, so it took awhile for me to register what was going on.
"Hey, awake yet, kiddies?" A gruff voice asked.
"Nap time is over!"
I shook my head to get some of the water out of my hair and opened my eyes.
Amanto. A lot of Amanto. That's what I was met with when I woke up. Elephant-looking Amanto. Creepy fish-like Amanto... There were Amanto of all kinds just standing over me! The elephant Amanto had a bucket in his hand... He must have been the one to pour the water on me.
But, wait! He said "Kiddies," didn't he? That means..!
I turned my head to the right… And saw Shinpachi-san sitting beside me, just now waking up. When he did wake up, though… He didn't say anything. He gave everyone a blank look, including me.
"What a shame... Caught by pirates at such a young age," a random alien teased.
"Oh, I see," Shinpachi-san mumbled, looking down. "Len-kun and I were caught by pirates..."
Depressed much? And don't worry, Shinpachi-san! At least we can die together!
...
Oh, God... Someone save me!
"But, wait," I started, Shinpachi-san slowly turning to look at me in disinterest. "Wasn't Kagura-chan kidnapped, too?"
With that single thought, we both desperately looked around for Kagura-chan, the aliens smiling more wickedly at us. I couldn't find her, but Shinpachi-san screamed, "Kagura-chan!" making me turn to him and follow his gaze up.
What I saw scared me.
A green guy (Definitely an Amanto) was holding a sword. That's not so scary, right? The green guy was holding the unconscious Kagura-chan up in the air with the sword. Okay... That's not so bad, right?
We were on a ship. The green guy was holding Kagura-chan with a sword over the water. Just one quick motion and Kagura-chan would be dead. She would fall to the ocean and drown.
...
We. Are. So. Screwed.
"See, I hate people who are dirty and get in the way of work," the green guy said calmly. Wait... I know that voice...
...
It's Daraku-san! He's the one who was talking over me when I woke up the first time!
"I want to get rid of all you annoying rats," Daraku-san continued. "Tell me where your hideout is. If you're stubborn, this one dies."
"What are you talking about?!" Shinpachi-san demanded.
"Don't play dumb. I know you're part of the Nationalist Faction," Daraku-san replied in a not-so-calm voice.
Before I had the chance to maybe clear up this misunderstanding (And find a way to kill them all while I'm at it), one of the Amanto in front of us grabbed both Shinpachi-san and I by the hair and started painfully shaking us.
"He told you to spit out your hiding place! Where the hell is that bastard Katsura?!" And with that he brought us up and slammed us both on the ground.
I was extremely pissed... Not to add to the fact I never comb my hair because I hate it when it gets stuck in the comb and it hurts getting it out. Therefore... Pulling on my hair gets me a little... Riled up.
"DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF SHIT!" I yelled, wincing at the throbbing pain. "We aren't in the Nationalist Faction thing, we were just looking for a random girl! You've all misunderstood!"
Yeah... That probably wasn't the best thing to say... Because all of the Amanto started glowering over me. I was mad because I lost my Tea-kun and he pulled my hair, but I'm not crazy enough to glare at a bunch of angry Amanto...
I gave an apologetic smiled.
Shinpachi-san didn't. He yelled, too.
"Yeah! We don't know where Katsura-san is! Let go of Kagura-chan!" Shinpachi-san practically screamed. "This is the country of the samurai! You guys, get the hell out!"
"Samurai? They don't exist in this country anymore!" Daraku-san responded, his voice slightly rising in anger.
To be honest... This whole situation seemed really hopeless. Daraku-san has Kagura-chan basically held hostage, and if we don't respond the way he wants she'll die. There are over twenty Amanto in front of Shinpachi-san and I... And we both have our hands tied up behind us. Even if we didn't... Shinpachi-san and I can't do anything without a weapon. I can't even do anything with a weapon, and Shinpachi-san is hardly any better with one, too...
Kagura-chan's... No... We're all as good as dead.
...
Suddenly, and I mean suddenly, Kagura-chan kicked Daraku-san in the face! She literally woke up, grinned at me, and kicked Daraku-san in the face! Hard! Daraku-san flew back while Kagura-chan flew back in the opposite way... In the direction of the ocean...
"Kagura-chan!" Shinpachi-san and I screamed. First Tea-kun, now Kagura-chan..?! Nooooo!
"Sorry to be a burden," she said to us as she starting falling down to the ocean, a sad smile on her face. "Bye-bye."
So many feelings rushed through me in that split second that I didn't even recognize all of them! Kagura-chan was going to die..! She was going to d-drown..!
"Hey! You can't just end the chapter this quickly! You need to tell us who you are and why you were knocked out in front of our house!"
Kagura-chan...
"Please, Len-kun! Try to pull me! Please!"
Tears started welling up in my eyes...
"Are you going through puberty?"
The tears welled up too fast and I had to shut my eyes to stop them from coming out. A few did, anyway.
"Your kidneys might fail if you keep drinking that stuff."
K-Kagura-chan!
"Wait!"
Everyone gasped as we all saw a man in a pirate suit running along the boat. His hook-hand was connected to a rope on the boat so he didn't fall in the sea. He had sorta straight silver hair and-
Wait.
Silver hair?
...
Gin-san!
"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!" Gin-san jumped up and caught Kagura-chan right before she fell in the water. He then jumped up again and used the rope to swing himself on the boat, Kagura-chan in his arms. Unluckily, he crashed into a bunch of barrels. Which, I can tell, really hurt. Kagura-chan rolled away on the floor, but Gin-san wasn't as fortunate.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow," he mumbled. "The wound opened up." He got up on one knee, looking up. "Um... Excuse me, is this where the interview is being held?" He stood up, the extra debris falling out of his hair and off of his coat. "Good afternoon, my name is Sakata Gintoki. I want to apply for captain. My hobby is eating sweets. My skills include being able to sleep with my eyes open..."
"Gin-san!" Kagura-chan, Shinpachi-san, and I exclaimed in happiness. He's not dead! He's here to save us!
"Bastard, you were still alive?!" Daraku-san grumbled. Oh, still alive? I thought Kagura-chan broke your neck, or something. Suddenly, we heard a rumbling noise and the ship started to shake. "W-What the..?!"
We all turned our heads to the left and saw a giant hole on one of the sections of the ship. There was black smoke coming out of the hole, too. The mechanical door opened to reveal another Amanto in slight panic.
"Daraku-san! There was an explosion in the warehouse!" The Amanto yelled. Daraku-san just widened his eyes as he turned his head to another explosion. Uhh... Who's bright idea was it to put explosives on a ship? It'll sink, idiots!
"My job is done!"
Daraku-san turned around to see a long haired man also in a pirate suit. K-Katsura-san?! He was holding what looked like a bomb in each hand.
"Now it's your turn, Gintoki!" Katsura-san yelled. "Go as wild as you want! I'll take care of the nuisances..!"
"You're Katsura!" Daraku-san yelled in pure hatred.
"Wrong!" Katsura jumped up. "I'm captain Katsura!" He threw one of the bombs at Daraku-san and the other at the Amanto standing around us. Daraku-san jumped back to avoid it in time, but the other Amanto weren't so lucky.
"It's Katsura! Get him!" Some of the other not-dead Amanto yelled. "Bring me his head!" And Katsura-san started running away, to which the other Amanto followed.
Daraku-san just casually walked in front of Shinpachi-san, Kagura-chan, Gin-san and I with a sword in his hand. It's pretty intimidating, especially since my arms are still tied up.
"You guys are done for," he said, adjusting his glasses. "You've made an enemy of the Harusame."
"This wouldn't have happened if you didn't wrongfully kidnap us and make me drop my Tea-kun!" I yelled.
"Boo-hoo," he replied. "All the Harusame scattered around the universe will come to kill you. You're as good as dead."
"Should I care? You're the one who's done for." Gin-san drew his wooden sword. "Listen, I don't care what you guys do to the universe. But this is my sword, and anywhere it can reach... Is my country!"
Yeah... Go on, Gin-san. Shinpachi-san, Kagura-chan, and I are practically useless with our hands unusable... So don't lose, or we die.
"Bastards who come in and try to mess with my things... Whether it be a general... Whether it be a space pirate... Whether it be a meteorite!" They charged at each other. "I'll destroy them!"
They slashed. They stopped moving. Time seemed to stop.
"Hey," Daraku-san started, slightly chuckling. "For a guy who doesn't wash his hands in the restroom..." His legs lost all their strength and he fell to the ground. "...You're pretty clean."
And with that... Daraku-san was down. For good.
"This is no good. I'm so dizzy, I can't walk."
"I've been in the sun for so long. I'm getting light-headed. Piggyback!"
"Tea-kun... Tea-kun, where are you..? I need you... Tea-kun... Tea-kun!"
"What are you three brats whining about?!" Gin-san yelled at us. "Who do you think is the most tired?! It's With-A-Two-Day-Hangover, With-Body-Beat-Up, He-Did-His-Best Gin-san!"
"But I'm really dizzy, you know?" Shinpachi-san whined, placing a hand over his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm so light-headed!" Kagura-chan whined.
"I'm not going anywhere until you walk your lazy ass back to that club and find my Tea-kun," I demanded, crossing my arms.
"Whatever, I'm going home," Gin-san groaned.
He started walking away.
He kept on walking.
He continued to walk awa-
"Cut the crap, already!" He turned around and screamed at us. "I'll give you a piggyback or whatever! I'll even go to the club and get your Tea-kun!"
"Yayaya! Woo-hoo!" Shinpachi-san, Kagura-chan, and I cheered, sprinting over to Gin-san.
"What the hell, you're just burning with energy..."
And with that... Gin-san carried Kagura-chan, Shinpachi-san got on Gin-san's back, and Gin-san carried me with his other arm. I have to admit, we looked ridiculous, but with Gin-san carrying us to the sunset... I don't think I've ever felt happier.
"Gin-chan, I feel like eating ramen!" Kagura-chan exclaimed.
"I want sushi, too!" Shinpachi-san exclaimed.
"I guess I can get some steak after we're done finding my Tea-kun. And buying some more tea, of course," I said.
Gin-san groaned even louder than before. "Don't think you can eat food like that unless it's your birthday. And forget about getting more tea, Len." He groaned again. "Geez, you guys are heavy, damn it..."
We all smiled. Even though he rejected our ideas, we were happy all the same. Maybe I should speak to The Taker about this... This random burst of happiness...
The next day... We brought our client's daughter back to her house. Gin-san found her in the bathroom, is what he told us, as awkward as that sounds.
"Kimiko! Kimiko, you're alright!" Our client desperately hugged a pig with a little patch of yellow hair on it's head. His daughter, Kimiko, was just watching in annoyance and/or boredom.
"Hey, old man, what're looking at?" Kimiko asked. Her dad didn't answer as he just gushed over the pig, tears running down his cheeks.
"I understand, old man. There are some things that you just don't want to see," Gin-san said.
"No, maybe he knows what he's looking at?" Shinpachi-san mused.
Kagura-chan was outside, looking at the pond again.
I was on the verge of death, laughing my ass off.
The fan in my heart hums as it spins,
Conversations cut again and again.
As I find myself always disturbed,
From that crazy audible whirl.
I find myself wearing my helmet upside-down again,
And then it falls off my head.
Kissing the blue sky,
As I find myself blazing by.
I know I work hard,
But so does my zooming Scooter.
Bubble-Gum, I'll chew on a piece,
As these days keep on racing towards me.
I'll dive head-first, into my life,
If my soul is truly sharp as a knife!
Bubble-Gum, I'll chew on a piece,
I'll go all out just as it pops!
Life gets better as you chew for awhile,
So try not to get ahead of your pride.
We'll do things a little different this time,
And give a new sense of beauty to life!
