Chap. 2 You Know Those Feelings You Get When Something Big is Going to Happen? Well, It's Probably Right…

"Gin- chan, Gin- chan please wake up," a voice says urgently shaking Gintoki up from his deep sleep.

Gintoki stirs, opening his eyes slightly, "What is it Kagura?" He yawns, sitting up and rubbing his head, "It's the middle of the night… What do you want?" He about dozes off again when he sees Kagura's face full of worry. "Kagura, what is it?"

"Gin- chan, I sense something, it smells like blood."

Gintoki smirks, "How can you sense that? Is it some kind of Yato instinct?" He reaches over, flicking her forehead lightly. "Don't worry." He flips over onto his side. "Gin- chan will beat whatever comes…" He mutters.

Kagura glances around the room, "Can I sleep in here?"

Gintoki sighs, "Did you listen to that damn radio again?"

Kagura glares at him. Suddenly, Gintoki cries out as he's kicked off his futon.

Kagura settles into Gintoki's futon. "Goodnight Gin- chan."

Gintoki rubs his back where he was kicked. "Yeah, yeah…" He mutters. He looks down at Kagura who was already fast asleep. "How the hell can she fall asleep that fast?"

Gintoki walks over to the wall, sitting down. He leans his head back against the wall, pushing his silver locks back with his hand. "Damn, this is going to get complicated…"

Kijima Matako barges into the control room, "Shinsuke- sama! Shinsuke- sama! Kamui- sama isn't in your room anymore!"

Takasugi stops talking to the control officer and turns around. He sighs, "That doesn't surprise me." He puffs out a wisp of smoke from his pipe, "That idiot."

"Shinsuke- sama, isn't that bad?" Matako asks. "Y' know; for the plan. Shouldn't he be here?"

Takasugi smirks, "No, I knew this would happen. I intend to carry on without him."

A new voice comes in, "Do you really intend to go without my captain?" Abuto asks his face impassive. "After YOU made the alliance with US."

Takasugi looks at Abuto, "I thought you left with him."

Abuto chuckles, "My captain is an idiot, and has a tendency to do things without telling me. I don't know if I should follow you, or follow my captain, because I have no idea where he went."

Takasugi snorts, "I know where he went," He looks at the ceiling, "I just don't know how it's all going to turn out."

Abuto chuckles again, "He went to fight that samurai with the silver hair?" Takasugi nods, Abuto smiles, "That's a suicide mission."

Takasugi's eyes widen, "What did you say?"

"You heard about Housen, the Night King, well my captain and Housen were on equal grounds with each other, but it seems what I got from my captain's obsessive talk about him is that after Housen thought he won, that man rose from the dead and was ten times stronger."

Takasugi smiles an uneasy smile, "Well, I guess we'll see when the plan is carried out."

Abuto tilts his head, "That's what I wanted to talk to you about before my captain rudely left." His eyes narrow, "What is the plan?"

Takasugi smiles, "Well, what have I been saying lately," His smile turns sadistic, and his eyes flash, "I'll destroy this rotten world."

Abuto nods, "So you're starting with Edo? Any particular reason?"

Takasugi averts his eyes, "No there isn't."

Abuto smiles, "Are you sure? Is it because you want to destroy old memories?" Abuto pauses, "Or old friends, perhaps?"

Takasugi grinds his teeth, "Forget about it, I don't need a reason." He looks at Abuto, "What are you going to do?"

Abuto sighs, "Now that I know where he is, I guess I'll go where my captain is." Abuto starts walking towards the door, he stops and says sadly, "You might want to hurry up, because if they fight, there will be nothing left to destroy." With that he's gone.

Takasugi looks over at Matako who was standing quietly in the corner, she blushes, "Y-Yes Shinsuke- sama?"

"Matako, tell everyone to get ready. We're leaving tomorrow."

"O-Okay," she rushes quickly out the door.

Takasugi sighs; he walks out the door of the control room, and back to his room. He looks out his window, "It will all be destroyed tomorrow." He sighs again, thinking back to what Abuto said, "Destroy old friends, huh." He smiles, "You might be right, about that. Then again, I have nothing left to lose, and nothing left to protect."

Smiling a distant look in his eyes, he looks at his pipe, "Maybe I should quit smoking." He sits down on the floor, not knowing what tomorrow will bring.
