Chap. 12 Why Doesn't Anything Go the Way It's Supposed to Anymore?
Blood splashes on the already blood splattered ground. The elder screams, as blood pours out of his shoulder.
Gintoki grins, turning his sword so it stays where it is, he pulls the elder close to his face by the hilt. The elder's eyes widen in fear as he looks into the dark metallic eyes. Gintoki laughs, "You really thought you could win?" His eyes flash, "Even when you threatened my friend's lives?" He tilts his head, mouth quirking in a sadistic smile, "I'll cut every piece of your body till there's nothing left but blood!" As Gintoki screams this he rips the sword out, taking his leg back and swinging his sword. It connects with the elder's face, cutting deep. Blood gurgles from the elder's lips, he falls to the ground. Not moving.
Gintoki chuckles, "Is that it?" He sighs heavily when he feels a tip of a sword in the back of his neck. A trail of warm blood trails down his neck.
"Gintoki," whispers the second elder, laughing.
Gintoki smiles, "I forgot there was three of you."
The elder's eyes flash, "Well I'll make you remember me." He swings his sword, grinning eagerly.
Kamui smacks against the ground, but quickly gets up to block the elder's attack with his leg. The elder uses his other hand to twist Kamui's ankle. Kamui cries out when the bone snaps. Quickly Kamui lashes his hand out, connecting with the elder's nose. The elder grits his teeth in pain as the bones in his nose break.
They jump back, glaring at each other.
Kamui smirks, "So how did you really learn the fighting style of the Yato?"
The elder smiles, "I taught myself."
Kamui snorts, "There's no way, no one could do that, it's impossible."
The elder laughs, "Kamui, most things in this world are possible, if you have the strength to do them." He smiles, "You will come to learn this." He tilts his head, launching towards Kamui, "Or maybe not!" He screams.
Kagura sits down heavily next to Otae, a piece of sukonbu in her mouth. She holds a piece out to Otae, but she shakes her head, she tries to smile but fails. Hot tears spring into her eyes, "Kagura- chan… I don't think I can handle this." She looks over at the door, on the other side was Shinpachi fighting to stay alive.
Kagura brings her knees to her chest, resting her chin on them. She smiles, "Sis, Shinpachi is strong, he can make it through this." Tears well up in her eyes, not really believing what she said. Her jaw trembles, "Everything's falling apart!" She yells, tears streaming down her face. Otae looks at her in shock at her outburst. Kagura squeezes her eyes shut, "Shinpachi, then Gin- chan," she sobs, "Even Nii- chan!"
"Kagura…" Otae whispers, her voice shaking. She quickly brings Kagura into a hug, both sobbing into each other's shoulder.
"Guys, you should believe in them more." They look up at Tsukuyo and see that it was obvious she's been crying. Tama is beside her, eyes downcast.
Kagura rubs at her eyes, "Tsukky…" She whispers. Tsukuyo bites her lip, eyes shimmering.
"Well isn't this depressing," a voice says tiredly.
Everyone's heads snap up to see a tall man with long scraggly tannish hair.
"You were with Kamui…" Kagura whispers.
Abuto sighs in annoyance, "Yeah your idiot brother is fighting an elder right now." Kagura's eyes widen.
Tsukuyo shakes her head, "Then why are you here."
Abuto rubs the back of his head, "I could tell captain didn't want me in the way." He shakes his head, "I don't know if he'd beat that elder."
Kagura's eyes narrow, "What do you mean?"
"That elder somehow learned the Yato fighting style." Abuto says, eyebrows furrowed in thought.
Kagura shakes her head in confusion, "T-That's impossible. Who'd he learn it from?"
Abuto shakes his head, "He said it was self- taught." Kagura looks at him in disbelief. Abuto looks rather sadly at the room where Shinpachi is. Otae lets out another sob. Abuto puts a hand on his head, looking uncomfortable. He sighs, "I hate it when women cry, it's always so awkward." Suddenly Abuto stiffens, he looks down the corridor, eyes narrowing. He sniffs the air, "What the hell…"
"What's wro-" Kagura is cut off by screams of the nurses and doctors. She jumps up from the ground to run towards the source, but Abuto holds up a hand.
"Wait, I don't smell blood, they're not killing them." He sighs, "They came here for something."
"Who are they?!" Kagura screams. Before Abuto can answer amanto by the dozen run down the length of the corridor towards them. Weapons of every kind held high.
Tsukuyo quickly spreads kunai in her hands, spacing out her legs. Kagura holds her fists up standing in front of Otae protectively. Tsukuyo looks at Abuto, "Now we know why you came here."
Abuto smiles slightly. Then the amanto are upon them.
Blood splatters the ground as Gintoki grabs the second elder's sword. The blade cutting deep. The elder grins. Gintoki lets go of the sword jumping back over the dead body of the first elder. They grin at each other.
"I couldn't wait to fight you Shiroyasha," the elder whispers. He laughs, "Two of the Tendoshuu are now dead, but Gintoki…" he pauses smiling, "You can lead us, we'd only need the four of us," his eyes brighten as he holds his arms outwards.
Gintoki smiles darkly, moving fast. He cuts deep over the elder's chest. Blood explodes as the elder drops to his knees. "You shouldn't leave yourself open like that," he whispers sadistically. Gintoki looks down into the elder's glaring face. Gintoki tilts his head, "I thought I told you I don't want to join the damn Tendoshuu."
The elder laughs, blood dribbling down his chin, "And I thought we told you, you'd have nothing left," his eyes flash, "So you have no choice." He grins, bringing his sword up to try and cut Gintoki, but he jumps out of the way. The elder struggles to his feet while Gintoki stares at him an eccentric look in his eyes.
Gintoki sighs when the elder stands up, "You guys are so persistent," his eyes flash, "Even when I told you no."
The elder shrugs with difficulty, "You'll come to learn what's better."
Gintoki laughs, "Better? How would that be better?!" He glares at him, "What I have here is the best thing I've had in a long time. And again you're trying to kill everything that matters to me." Gintoki looks past the elder, smirking, "Besides it's over."
The elder looks behind him in surprise as Matako shoots the last amanto through the skull.
Takasugi turns to glare at Gintoki, pointing his sword at him, "Now you can die with the rest of these amanto scum." The elder in front of Gintoki quickly sneers at him, raising his sword to cut him down, but the last elder stops him.
"Wait, I'll take care of him." He steps forward a sure look in his eyes.
"W-Wait you don't want to show your strength yet!" The second elder yells desperately.
The elder laughs, smiling, "Don't worry, I won't use all my strength on him."
Gintoki raises an eyebrow, but his eyes widen when he realizes the strength behind the elder's eyes. "Takasugi!" He screams.
As soon as he screams the elder is in front of Takasugi, his movements faster than the eye can see. Blood sprays into the air as the sword enters Takasugi's stomach.
"Shinsuke- sama!" Matako screams.
Takasugi's jaw trembles, blood spilling over his lips. He coughs, "How…"
The elder rips the sword out of Takasugi's abdomen, flicking some blood off his sword. He grins, "Takasugi, it looks like you won't be able to destroy the world now."
Takasugi's vision blurs, shuddering he falls to his knees. All that he hears next is Matako, Bansai, and Takechi screaming his name. The funny thing was he actually thought he saw Gintoki running towards him a bloodthirsty look in his eyes. He smirks, probably to finish the elder's job. He falls forward, darkness overshadowing him.
Abuto lashes his fist out, hitting an amanto across the face causing him to fly into a wall.
Kagura summersaults and goes into a back handspring, ending with a spin- off with her legs, scattering amanto around her.
Kunai hit four amanto square in the head. Tsukuyo shakes her head in frustration, "They just keep coming!"
"They had to have sent more than half the amanto there!" Abuto growls, kicking out with his foot to hit an amanto in the chest.
Tama burns some of them with her broom. "Oh no…" She says as the broom sputters, "I'm running out."
Abuto raises an eyebrow at her, "What's even in that broom?"
Tama ignores the question and simply hits amanto across the face with the stick of the broom.
"Why are they even here?!" Kagura screams.
Abuto shakes his head, "They came here for your friend in there, but also you. They want to kill all of Gintoki's friends so he'd become an elder."
Kagura gasps as she sees amanto running towards Shinpachi's room. "I won't let you!" She screams, running forward. Amanto step in front of her, blocking her way. "Get the hell out of the way!" She punches and kicks amanto, but the numbers just kept increasing. She screams, furious as amanto pin her to the ground. "Let me go!"
"Kagura!" Tsukuyo yells, trying to run forward, but amanto surround her. "Kagura!" She screams again.
"I SAID LET ME GO!" Kagura screams at the top of her lungs. An amanto raises a sword over her, ready to strike. Kagura goes silent, her body jolts. The amanto lowers the sword a bit in confusion. The confusion is soon gone as he's kicked in the shin, the bone snapping. The amanto screams, falling back.
Kagura lifts her legs quickly, flipping up. She grins, launching herself. She kills at least a dozen amanto in a matter of seconds. Blood flies through the air like rain. The amanto fall back, eyes scared. Kagura laughs insanely.
"Shit…" Abuto whispers.
Kagura turns to look at everyone, her eyes wide. Her body teeters slightly. She looks at Abuto, grinning insanely. She giggles all senses gone. The fiery blood was now coursing through her. The Yato blood had taken over.
