Chap. 11 Everyone Has Their Own Personal Demons
"I won't let you see the light of day ever again," Gintoki says with a sadistic grin.
"Y-You bastard," the lead amanto rasps.
Gintoki laughs, "Actually I'm more known as Shiroyasha." He looks at all the elders, "It seems I'm going to have to kill all of you."
"Don't be so cocky!" An elder screams, charging.
Blood sprays as the he is kicked in the face and is sent flying. Kamui licks his hand where blood splashed on it. "Let's kill these weak son of a bitches," he hisses.
An elder in the back laughs, "Do you think you can take on all of us?"
Kamui smirks, "All of us? There are only six of you," he pauses smiling, pointing at the elder on the ground, skull smashed. "Minus one."
The lead gives a sick grin, while covering his empty eye socket, "Kamui, do you really think we would come alone." Kamui's eyes widen, "We knew Gintoki would not come with us, without a fight." He looks at Gintoki, his eye fierce, "You will be a higher- up no matter what." His grin turns insane, "We just have to kill everything you're protecting."
A huge tremor shakes the ground, a crash resounds through the air, like a door opening.
"N-No way," Kagura whispers.
One of the elders laughs, "Gintoki, would you like to relive the war." Gintoki looks at him in anger.
The lead amanto looks at Takasugi, grinning. "This will be a war even bigger than the Jiou." He looks at Gintoki laughing, "Feel free to watch your newfound friends die."
The lead amanto lays back laughing, having gone insane. Millions of feet pound the earth, heading towards them.
Gintoki whirls around, "Get out of here now!" He screams.
"Gin- chan!" Kagura cries, "We're not going to leave you!"
"Kagura," Kamui says quietly. Kagura looks at him surprised. "He told you to leave." He looks at Kagura, sadness in his eyes, "I want you to leave." He looks away, "I won't see you hurt again."
Tears fill Kagura's eyes, as her jaw trembles, "Nii- chan," she whispers.
Gintoki smiles, "Do as Nii- chan tells you, Kagura." He looks at Tsukuyo, Otae, and Tama, eyes flashing, "You get out of here to."
Amanto by the hundreds swarm around the narrow street, stopping awaiting the lead amanto's orders. Everything was surprisingly quiet, the townspeople having enough sense to run away.
The lead amanto looks at Gintoki, his eyes crazed. "Are you ready?"
"Go!" Gintoki screams at Kagura and everyone, they turn and run. The lead amanto waves a hand. The amanto charge. Gintoki and Kamui give a yell as they launch themselves at the amanto.
Gintoki clotheslines an amanto, taking his sword in the process and cutting down two amanto.
Kamui jumps in the air, coming down with a drop kick on top of an amanto's head. The amanto's skull smashes. The other amanto around Kamui back away from him. Kamui smiles, a bloodthirsty look in his eyes. He looks at the amanto, "I usually kill with a smile." He snarls, "But you don't deserve to go to the other world so happily." He charges, "I'll take you all down to hell!" He screams. Blood explodes into the air, dousing Kamui from head to toe.
Two amanto run at Gintoki one from the front, one behind. He brings his foot up kicking the front amanto in the side of the head and finishing it in a roundhouse kick to the other amanto.
He bends backwards as an amanto thrusts his sword forward, nearly missing his face. He swings his sword cutting the amanto across the throat. The amanto falls to his knees, blood gurgling from the cut.
Gintoki whirls around about to cut down the an amanto behind him, but again something is much faster. The amanto falls forward when a bullet enters his skull.
"Kagura!" Gintoki growls. He looks sharply to the side. His eyes widen at the source of the bullet.
"I'm not helping you," Matako says, giving him a glare. "I'm only in this because they're targeting Shinsuke- sa-"
"Oi!" Gintoki yells as an amanto raises a club to hit Matako from behind, he runs forward, but is too late. His eyes widen as blood splatters on his face.
"Watch it, you idiot," Takasugi growls blood dripping off his sword.
"Shinsuke- sama!" Matako yells lovingly.
Takasugi ignores her as he looks at Gintoki. "I'm not fighting alongside you," he hisses, "I'm still going shove my sword up your dirty ass!"
"Oi," Gintoki says glowering, "My ass is perfectly clean."
A huge amanto flies in between them before Takasugi can say anything else. They glance to the side seeing Kamui looking at them, eyes fierce. "Would you stop fighting with this piece of shit, Gintoki?" Kamui looks over Gintoki's shoulder in disgust, "They're not even doing anything!"
Gintoki and Takasugi look over and see the elders leaning against a building. The lead amanto is still laughing insanely. The rest of the elders are ignoring the lead and staring at them intently.
Gintoki raises an eyebrow, "Now that you mention not doing anything," he looks around, "Why aren't they fighting anymore?"
Kamui, Takasugi, and Matako look around. The amanto had stopped fighting and were standing, watching them.
Gintoki's eyes narrow, "Well this is creepy," he says.
Bansai and Takechi walk up to them. "What's wrong with them?" Bansai asks.
"I think this is just a test," Takechi says quietly, "For you," he adds, pointing at Gintoki.
The five elders walk forward leaving the lead behind who was chuckling insanely, hand hovering over his empty eye socket.
One elder tilts his head, clearly annoyed, "Well we really haven't seen anything amazing here," he laughs, "But making our leader go insane was clearly worth the trip."
Another elder speaks up, "We still want you to become an elder, Sakata Gintoki." He chuckles, "Now that our leader is useless, we'll be needing a new leader."
The elders throw their cloaks aside with a certain grace, revealing swords at their sides.
"Gintoki, you can be that leader." An elder says.
"Quit your bullshitting!" Kamui screams, taking a step forward.
The elder that spoke last, laughs. He unsheathes his sword, pointing it at Kamui. "Gintoki, we will make you an elder, but to do that we will experience your strength for ourselves." The rest of the elders unsheathe their swords, except for one of them. The one elder smiles, "We said we would destroy everything you care about. Soon enough you will have nothing."
Gintoki's eyes widen as he turns to look behind him, "Dammit!" He screams furiously.
"What's wrong?!" Kamui asks confused.
"They're gone," he whispers angrily.
Kamui looks behind him, his eyes widen. The masses of amanto had decreased. More than half of them were gone.
The last elder that spoke laughs, "I filled them in, so they know who all your friends are. They went out to find all of them. As I said." He tilts his head, mouth twisted in a devilish smile, "Soon you will have nothing." The elder's eyes widen in surprise when Gintoki laughs.
"You think I care?" He says, chuckling. "Those people can take care of themselves, they don't need me. They're all stronger than you think they are."
Takasugi sighs, "I don't care about all this," he glances at Gintoki, "I just need to kill you before I leave."
The elders quickly point their swords at Takasugi. "We won't let that happen," one growls.
"Enough of this shit!" Kamui yells, running forward, lashing out with his leg at the nearest elder that happened to be the one without his sword out.
Kamui's leg connects, but not with the elder's face. Kamui's eyes widen as the elder uses his forearm to block Kamui's kick. The elder grins, grabbing Kamui's raised leg. He throws him to the side, causing Kamui to hit the ground hard and fly into the wall of a building.
Kamui gets up effortlessly, but stays where he is staring at the elder dumbfounded.
One elder laughs, "Kamui, does this really surprise you?" He smiles, "He wasn't trained in the art of the sword. The sword at his side is just for show." To show his point the elder throws the fake sword aside. The elder continues, "It's funny how he learned the fighting style of the Yato." He grins, "It's mostly all self- taught."
Kamui snorts, "There's no way…"
The elder that now seems in the lead ignores Kamui and turns back to Gintoki and everyone else. He bites his lip, "It seems we're at a disadvantage in numbers."
Takasugi turns, "Well that's fine," he glances at Gintoki, "You better not die idiot, because I still need to kill you." He starts walking towards a gap between the mass of amanto, but stops abruptly when the amanto close the gap.
"Takasugi," the elder that's been talking says, "You seem to have forgotten." He pauses, eyes flashing, "You need to die." He looks at the amanto grinning, "Sakata Gintoki is ours, as for Takasugi and his friends," he laughs as he yells, "Have fun!"
The amanto cheer as they run forward, weapons of every kind raised. Matako starts shooting as Takasugi, Bansai, and Takechi raise their swords in defense. Takasugi and Bansai cut down amanto while Takechi stands there shaking.
"Gintoki," the elder says, "We will experience your strength for ourselves." He holds his arms outward, the other two elders step forward.
The elder without a sword charges at Kamui, jumping in the air to try to smash his head into the ground. Kamui crosses his arms atop his head as the elder descends. His leg connects with his arms, but Kamui holds strong, creating a small crater in the ground at his feet.
The elder flips backwards, landing lightly on the ground. "You are strong," he whispers. His eyes flash, "But not strong enough." He lunges at Kamui.
"Gintoki," the elder says to gain his attention. He turns to look at the other two elders, "Which one of you would like to go first?"
One of the two steps forward, grinning.
"That settles it," the elder whispers. He turns back to Gintoki, he smiles. "Mentioning your friends, Gintoki. We heard that you had an injured friend," he pauses, "Shimura Shinpachi, wasn't it?" Gintoki's eyes widen. The elder grins, "We made sure that a large amount of our amanto went to pay him a visit."
"You bastard!" Gintoki screams.
The elder chooses this time to charge. He grins madly, swinging his sword. Blood splashes on the already blood splattered ground.
