Chap. 5 No One Bothers with Goodbyes Anymore

Kamui hears Kagura scream his name, he smiles closing his eyes.

His eyes snap open when he hears a new name being screamed several times, "Gin- chan! Gin- san! Gintoki!"

Kamui can't see, his eyes bleary and the wind rushing, he can hardly hear. He cringes as something embraces him, he tries to break free, but the things to strong. He stops struggling when he hears a voice, all too familiar.

"You think you can just die like this? You're not getting a sweet death before me kid." Gintoki looks into Kamui's wide ocean blue eyes.

Gintoki flips over so he's on the bottom, he yells up at Takasugi's glaring face, "This is what you wanted all along, Takasugi!" Takasugi's eyes widen, Gintoki grins, "DEATH TO THE SHIROYASHA!" Gintoki screams on the top of his lungs. Kagura, Shinpachi, and Katsura show up at the edge of the building, screaming his name.

Gintoki laughs grinning, looking in Takasugi's eyes, "Just kidding!" Takasugi's eyes narrow, Gintoki holds out his arm, "Sadaharu!" A window breaks off the high- rise building, a huge white dog barks jumping towards them.

Gintoki grabs onto Sadaharu's collar, jerking them to the side. Sadaharu lands on the side of the opposite building creating a crater as he launches himself off the building, back towards the high- rise building.

As Sadaharu lands Gintoki lets go of his collar, skidding to a stop, still holding Kamui. Kagura, and Shinpachi start running towards them, tears running down their faces. They stop when Kamui kicks Gintoki in the gut with his good leg. Kamui jumps back, away from Gintoki landing on one leg.

Gintoki groans eyes confused as he looks at Kamui, "Ow, a thank you would have been way better."

Kamui laughs, "A thank you?! I was better off dying!"

Gintoki glares at him, "I told you why you can't die kid…"

Kamui's smile falters into an angry scowl. "Fine! I'll tell you! I left because I wanted to get stronger to protect some things. To do that I needed to fight my father to gain trust in this world."

Kagura eyes widen, she wipes the tears running down her face, "Kamui," she whispers.

Gintoki sighs, "So, that's how it is."

Kagura's lower lip trembles, "When you came back, you changed. That's when you attacked papi."

Kamui smiles at her, "Yeah, that's when I let the Yato blood run out." He laughs, "It feels so good! I love fighting!" He looks into Kagura's equally bright ocean blue eyes, "You need to let yours out," he chuckles, "Actually you did already, didn't you? Abuto told me. You said you wanted to protect things right? You'll never protect anything, because you're weak."

Kagura looks as if she's in pain. "Brother-" Her eyes widen suddenly as she screams "Look out!"

Kamui instinctively turns around, he gasps as he sees a familiar silver blade coming down on top of him. He sees a flash of white, as someone runs in front of him.

Gintoki laughs, "You're saying she's not strong, and can't protect anything! When you can't even protect yourself!"

Gintoki looks behind him at Kamui's dumbfounded face. Kamui sees that Gintoki has a hold on the blade, blood dripping down his arm. Kamui looks over at the one with the blade.

Takasugi laughs, "Gintoki, you would actually try to protect someone who tried to kill you?"

Gintoki eyes him, smiling, "You wouldn't know anything about that, Takasugi." His metallic crimson eyes flash, "You and him could never kill me."

Kamui looks up at him, eyes wide. He opens his mouth to say something, but closes it when he hears screaming. He turns his head as the others do.

Abuto runs onto the rooftop, breathless. Followed by the other Yato. His eyes widen at the scene in front of him, "Captain!" He yells, running towards Kamui. The Yato stay back.

Abuto runs beside Kamui, looking him over to see if he's hurt.

Kamui shakes him off, scowling, "Your just like a mother, Abuto!"

Abuto glares at him, "No, to you I'm a piece of shit. You're lucky I still stay with you."

"Shinsuke- sama!" Matako screams running frantically through the door onto the roof, followed by Takechi.

They stop, when they see Gintoki and Takasugi.

Bansai who hadn't spoken for a while standing by the edge of the roof says quietly, "Sakata Gintoki," he smiles, putting a hand against a headphone, "Your song changed. That's the music I like."

Takasugi glares at Bansai, he looks at both Matako and Takechi, "What are you guys doing here?"

Gintoki laughs, "Wow Takasugi, you sure got some weirdo's," he looks behind him at Kagura and Shinpachi, "Well I shouldn't be talking." Kagura and Shinpachi glare at him.

Takasugi looks at him, he snorts, "You're the weirdo."

Gintoki smiles, "Nope, I'm an idiot." Takasugi's eyes widen as Gintoki pulls the sword back over his shoulder quickly. He swings his head back, coming forward, head-butting Takasugi.

Takasugi yelps, falling back letting go of his sword. Gintoki throws the sword on the ground.

"Shinsuke- sama!" Matako screams running towards him. She puts her hand onto Takasugi's shoulder, as he struggles to get up. He holds his head, groaning.

Gintoki looks behind him at Kamui, "You better go now."

Kamui smirks, "I won't leave earth yet," his eyes flash, "I still need to kill you."

Gintoki laughs, "Okay, but let me tell you one thing," he looks into Kamui's eyes, crimson burning ocean blue. Gintoki shakes his head. "Wait." He turns around gripping his head.

"Gin- chan… What's wrong?" Kagura asks.

Gintoki looks over at Kagura, his eyes wide. "I can't… think of anything cool to say."

Kagura and Shinpachi look at him with glazed eyes. "Idiot…"

Kamui laughs. "I so can't wait to fight you again…" He turns to Abuto. "Let's go."

Abuto nods following Kamui as he starts limping towards the stairs.

"Wait, Kamui," A small voice says quietly. Kamui and Abuto turn.

Kamui gasps as he feels a warm embrace, Abuto's mouth falls open in shock.

Kagura sobs. "Please don't leave." She looks up into his cold eyes.

"Get off." Kamui whispers.

Kagura stiffens, backing away slowly. Kamui shakes his head, "Never do that again," he says. Turning he says to Abuto, "Let's go."

Abuto nods slowly, glancing at Kagura sadly, he follows his limping captain out the door.

Kagura wraps her arms around herself, sobbing. Shinpachi walks over putting a hand on her shoulder.

Gintoki shakes his head, "You hurt her again, you stupid brother."

"Shinsuke- sama!" Matako screams.

Gintoki's eyes widen, he turns on instinct swinging his fist. It connects with Takasugi's face.

Takasugi flies back, skidding on the roof. Blood spurting out of his nose. He groans.

Katsura who hadn't spoken for a while laughs, behind Gintoki. "Serves you right Takasugi!" Takasugi glares at Katsura, covering his broken nose. "You know not to mess with the Shiroyasha!"

Now it's Gintoki's turn to glare at Katsura, "Don't call me Shiroyasha, you idiot." Katsura just laughs stupidly.

Gintoki sighs, he opens his mouth to say something, but closes it again when he hears feet pounding up the steps onto the roof. The Shinsengumi spread out, filling the perimeter of the roof. Hijikata in the lead.

Hijikata screams, holding his sword up, "Takasugi Shinsuke, you're under arrest!" Hijikata advances forward, but stops when he sees Gintoki. "What the hell are you doing here!" he yells at Gintoki.

Gintoki scowls, "Not waiting to see your ugly face."

Hijikata walks up to him, "What was that fluff top? My face is beautiful, unlike you, you silver perm."

Gintoki's mouth twitches, "Oi, stop making fun of my hair, you obsessive mayo freak."

Gintoki and Hijikata grab each other's hair, challenging.

"Hijikata- san," a voice says playfully. Sougo points his bazooka at Hijikata, "If you keep playing around with boss, you'll lose Takasugi."

Hijikata's eyes narrow, "Oi, why are pointing it at me."

Sougo smiles, "I need to protect you, so you don't accidently get killed."

"You're the one that's going to kill me!" Hijikata retorts.

Sougo looks behind Hijikata and Gintoki, "Well, Hijikata- san you're too late." Hijikata raises an eyebrow, "Takasugi's getting away."

Hijikata's eyes widen, as do the other Shinsengumi who were watching Hijikata and Gintoki fight. Their heads snap up as they look at Takasugi, and the rest boarding their ship, followed by the Yato and amanto.

"Hey!" Hijikata screams, he looks frantically at Sougo, "Shoot the ship down!"

Sougo nods, he takes the safety off the bazooka still pointing it at Hijikata, he sets it looking through the scope.

"Not at me!" Hijikata shrieks, ducking down.

They hear chuckling. Sougo brings down the bazooka, but not all the way. They look at Takasugi's grinning face, but he's not looking at them. He's looking at Gintoki.

"I'll kill you, Gintoki," he laughs insanely, "Along with the rest of this rotten world."

Gintoki chuckles. "Wow, spoken like a true villain."

Takasugi scowls, backing up as the door slams shut. Seconds after the ship is moving away.

Hijikata screams, "Sougo! Shoot it down!"

Sougo looks through the scope, aiming at the back of Hijikata's head. Hijikata realizes this and ducks down quickly as Sougo shoots. The shot skids across the side of the ship, but not doing real damage.

Sougo sighs, "Crap I missed."

"What do you mean you missed!" Hijikata yells.

Sougo aims again, "Let me try again."

"Hell no!" Hijikata screams, kicking the bazooka out of Sougo's hands. It lands with a thud. Hijikata sighs, looking at the ship moving away, "It's too late now."

Hijikata looks at Gintoki, "How do you know Takasugi Shinsuke? He's one of the most wanted criminals."

Gintoki looks at him out of the corner of his eye, "He's an acquaintance."

Hijikata looks behind Gintoki and does a double-take, "Who the hell are you?!"

Katsura grins, he has a curly mustache on and his hair is up in a ponytail. He speaks in his Mickey Mouse voice, "I'm Katsuaro," he bows, "I'm a foreigner." He laughs stupidly.

Hijikata's eye twitches, "Well you piss me off, Katsuaro."

"It's not Katsuaro, it's Katsu-" Katsura doesn't get to finish as he's kicked in the face by Kagura. Kagura keeps kicking him on the ground, "You're an idiot!" She screams, eyes still red from crying.

Sougo looks at Kagura, "Why are your eyes red?" He grins sadistically, "Did you forget to take your meds?"

Kagura's mouth twitches, "What was that sadist? You want your favorite appendage ripped off?"

Sougo laughs, "Like you have the balls, China."

Kondo speaks up, "Sougo, this isn't the time." He turns to the Shinsengumi, "Follow the ship from ground level, make sure that I know right away if he returns to space."

"Yes sir!" They yell, running out the door. When all the Shinsengumi are cleared besides Kondo, Hijikata, and Sougo, Gintoki speaks up.

"Takasugi won't leave earth," Everyone looks up at him, even Katsura who was up from the ground, mustache falling off. Gintoki smiles, "He'll come back very soon." He looks up at the cloudless, darkening sky, "I'll really kill him when he comes back."

Kondo glances at Gintoki, nodding he turns to Hijikata and Sougo. "We need to go see that all the Harusame are gone."

They both nod slowly, Sougo looks at Kagura and grins sadistically. Kagura glares at him, folding her arms. They all three walk towards the stairs, descending.

Gintoki sighs, he looks at Kagura and Shinpachi, "Let's go home."

He hears a bark, and a bolt of pain as blood squirts out of his arm. Gintoki screeches, pounding on Sadaharu's white furry head. "Let go! Let go!" He tries to pry Sadaharu's jaw apart, to let go of his arm. Shinpachi jumps in to help. Kagura stands there picking her nose.

She laughs, "Serves you right Gin- chan! You left him back there unconscious!"

Sadaharu barks his agreement, letting go of Gintoki's arm. Gintoki cradles it.

Kagura laughs happily, "C'mon Sadaharu! Let's go home!" Sadaharu barks happily, following her out the door.

When she's gone Shinpachi whispers, "She's so happy."

Gintoki sighs, "This is why I told her brother she's strong. She can hold her emotions in."

Shinpachi nods sadly, "Let's go."

Gintoki steps forward, but falls on the ground groaning.

"What's wrong Gin- san!" Shinpachi yells, trying to lift him up.

"It fell! My ribs fell to my stomach!" Gintoki groans holding his stomach.

Shinpachi's eyes widen, "Can that even happen?!"

Kamui watches Gintoki and the glasses wearing kid follow his sister down the stairs. Kamui is sitting with Abuto on a building opposite of the high- rise building.

Abuto looks at him sullenly, Kamui's mouth twitches, "Abuto, stop looking at me like that."

Abuto sighs, "She loves you, y' know." He shakes his head angrily, "Why can't you understand that?"

Kamui looks up at him, "I already told her. Why can't she understand?! I told her I have no use for weaklings." He narrows his eyes at Abuto, "Are you going to turn into one of those weaklings, Abuto?" He spits Abuto's name out, scornfully.

Abuto sighs again, "Okay, fine, at least you'll get another chance to fight Sakata Gintoki."

Kamui's eyes light up, he smiles, "Yeah, since I know how much stronger he's getting." He grins, "I better start training."

Abuto smiles, nodding at his eager captain.

"Abuto can you go find us a place to stay? We're going to lay low for a while. I just don't want to leave earth yet. The long journey back would be boring. Besides where would we go?"

Abuto chuckles, "I'll be right back." Kamui nods at him, as he leaves.

When Kamui is alone he smiles, he lies down, hands behind his head. He speaks out loud, "It's weird I don't think I want to fight him anymore." He sighs, looking up at the sky, "Then I get the feeling I do want to fight him. Oh well, I'll see you soon samura-" He laughs, eyes sparkling, "I mean… Gintoki."

Takasugi touches his nose lightly, groaning. Matako had patched it up, but her hands were shaking so much, and her face was really red, so she messed up a lot. "Did she have a fever or something?" Takasugi asks himself out loud.

He walks over to the window in his room. He looks out at the dark sky. They landed in a faraway meadow in the middle of nowhere.

He sighs, "Why did everyone change? Katsura said he even hated me." He shakes his head chuckling, "I don't even know about Tatsuma." He glares into the darkness. "I've never liked you, Gintoki. You showed up in my life, and destroyed everything I've ever cared about. Now I have nothing left to protect." He laughs, "I'm just a wandering beast now."

Putting his pipe to his lips, he blows out a wisp of smoke. He picks up his shamisen, and strums a few strings. Looking up at the sky, images of the sorrowful past flitting through his mind. Wondering if his ex- comrades had the same images flitting through their minds, mostly about a certain person. A certain Sensei.
