"This is bullshit!" Gintoki shouted, losing another round of Pachinko. He put some more money in so he could play another game. "Come on... Give me a fucking jackpot." He heard footsteps walking towards him. He didn't look back to see who it was.

"Hey, Gin," Qiao said. She sat in an empty seat next to him. "Not your fat ass again. Who told you my location?" She looks at him. "Otose. And she said if you don't have her rent money, she will get Tama to beat your ass with a broomstick." He chuckles. "That old wench is always in my damn business. I have one month's rent right here. When I do this job, tonight I'll have the rest. Shit, I lost again."

"She told me you were behind by two months, and you better have it all. I can see that you don't."

"Shut the hell up. I do have it."

"Pfft! Yeah, only one month's rent. If you stop gambling, you won't be behind so much." Loser, loser! "Dammit, I lost again!" Qiao shook her head. "Tisk, Tisk Gintoki, you suck at this game. Let me try. I might win." She puts some money in the slot. "I doubt it. If I don't win, you won't."

Winner, winner! Gintoki's jaw dropped. "Well, well-well. It seems like I won. Oh wow, this amount of money can cover someone's back rent. Should I spend it all in one day?" Gintoki rolls his eyes. "That was pure luck, nothing else," Gin told her. "Right…you can have it, Gin." She pushes the money to him. He narrowed his eyes at her. "What is this a trick? Let me guess. I have to pay you back?" She shakes her head. "No. You don't have to. I'm your friend Gintoki, and besides, you saved me. I want to do something for you as a friend."

"Saving you from getting your face slashed by a four-eye crazy bitch isn't a big deal."

"Not that. I mean the first time you saved me. The day we met. You saved my life, and I will always owe you for that day." He stares at her.

"Oh. You mean that day. Okay, I'll take it. But just to let you know. I don't want to hear about I owe you money. So no take-backsies." She laughs. "It's cool. I don't need it." Besides, I robbed a bank. I don't have to worry about losing money.

At the Cafe. Gintoki and his coworkers sat at a table by the window, talking and enjoying the cake they ordered. Gintoki looked away, then jumped when he looked up. "Why the fuck?" Qiao has her face pressed against the glass. She stares down at Gintoki like a stalker watching him. "Oh yeah, Qiao is here," Kagura said. Shinpachi nods. "Oh, now you tell me. How long has she been standing there? She scared the shit out of me."

"Only for five minutes," Shinpachi answered. "She's so weird, Gin-Chan," Kagura said. "She only does this when she wants my attention. She has been lying to me lately, so ignore her." While eating, Qiao continued to stand by the window like a disturbed person. Gin stopped eating when she started breathing heavily against the window, creating condensation on the glass. He grabbed the menu, then covered her face. Qiao moves to the right side of the window. When he covers her face again, she slides back to the left. He hits the glass with his elbow. The impact hit her nose, making her back up. "Motherfucker." She walks in, rubbing her nose. "You get on my nerves."

"Stop being weird. You wanted my attention, now, what do you want?"

"Never mind, I don't like you anymore. I have to visit my sister." He looks at her. "You made plans with me, and now you have to leave? I thought you were going to work today." She nods. "I did? Oh yeah, I did. I forgot." He sighed. "Hey, dumb ass. What's your problem? You have been acting weird since the second day you came back."

"What are you talking about, Gin? I refuse to argue. I have to go. I'm late, bye." Kagura scratched her head. "She's been on the go lately," Shinpachi said. "I guess," Gintoki told him. He stares at Qiao while she walks down the street.

Night time arrived. "Where is the target?" Jewel asked. "Wait, damn it. They will arrive in an hour," Lamen said. "It's getting cold out here. I wish they would hurry up ready," Garret said. "Qiao, do you see them yet?" Jewel asked her. Qiao looks through the scope of the sniper rifle she is holding. "Qiao! Do you see the target yet?" She shouted through the headset. "Shut up! And no! I don't see the car yet. You guys are on different rooftops. We all can see where this target will arrive. Just stick to your mission, and I will stick to mine."

"Whatever."

"I see a black limousine. Get ready," Lamen said. Qiao checked her bullets, then took sight of the limo through the telescope. Once her target left the car, she had to end him. With her finger on the trigger, she points. The car door opened, and someone in pair of black boots came out of the car. She looked at his face, then took her finger off the trigger. "Oh no. Gintoki."
