Chap. 15 When Having a Party Make Sure You Know Who You're Inviting

"Oh shit…" Gintoki murmurs, reading the letter in his hands.

"What's wrong Gin- san?" Shinpachi asks, looking up from his tea.

Gintoki covers his face with his hand, throwing the letter on his desk. "Read it for yourself." He mumbles, sitting heavily on his chair.

Shinpachi walks over, curiously picking up the sheet of paper. His eyes widen. "N-No way…" He drops the letter on the desk, smiling. "Gin- san it's surprising, but you should be happy."

Gintoki narrows his eyes at him. "Like hell I should, I'd stick out in that crowd."

"What are you talking about?" Kagura asks, opening the closet door and jumping off the shelf.

Shinpachi picks up the letter handing it to Kagura. Her eyes widen as she reads it.

Dear Sakata Gintoki,

I would like to invite you to my birthday celebration at my home. I'm very sorry for the late notice, but it will be this coming Friday. I'm also very sorry that you will not be able to invite your friends that work with you as the Yorozuya as there will be drinking. I hope you will be able to come.

Sincerely, Tokugawa Shige Shige (The Shogun)

"Whoa…" Kagura looks up fiercely. "I want to go!"

"Kagura- chan, you can't." Shinpachi says.

Kagura narrows her eyes. "Shut up, you stupid four eyes!"

"HEY! It's the Shogun's orders!" Shinpachi screams.

"Gin- chan!" Kagura pouts, looking at him desperately.

Gintoki shrugs, saying nothing.

"Idiot!" Kagura screams, running for the door. The shoji opens at that moment, making Kagura stop in her tracks. Kamui and the elder walk in, talking to each other. Kagura's face brightens. "Nii- chan!" She jumps, latching onto his leg, making Kamui almost fall over, he groans grabbing his chest. She buries her face in his leg. "Nii- chan! Tell gin- chan to let me go to the party!"

Kamui sighs, looking at Gintoki. "Did you get invited to?"

Gintoki nods. Kagura lets go of Kamui's leg, looking between them. Her eyes turn a cold. "Idiots!" She screams, running out the door.

"Kagura- chan!" Shinpachi yells, running after her.

Kamui sighs again, walking over to the couch, sitting heavily, but mindful of his chest. The elder walks over and sits on the opposite couch.

"So how you doing?" Gintoki asks Kamui, lazily.

Kamui scowls. "It's healing as slow as a human's wound!"

Gintoki laughs. "Oh, little nii- chan is turning human."

Kamui makes a face, but laughs, smiling. "I'll kill you." The elder watches them, smiling.

Gintoki chuckles, propping his legs on top of the desk. "So how did you get invited to the Shogun's party?"

Kamui scratches the back of his head, sighing. "I'm still the seventh squad captain of the Harusame Space Pirates."

Gintoki raises an eyebrow. "Huh? Didn't the elders fire you or something?"

Kamui shakes his head. "No, they don't associate with the Harusame, only when we mess with them. Also my squad would never betray me. The elders know that, so they won't try anything." He tilts his head. "Well besides the killing me, my squad didn't know about that."

Gintoki chuckles. "How about those Yato dicks?"

Kamui smiles. "They never came to me again after they figured out I killed their leader. Now they still follow me."

Gintoki grins. "Well at least I won't be the only one that sticks out in that crowd."

Kamui scowls. "What's that supposed to mean?" He smiles. "Besides I've been to these high class parties before, so I won't stick out. I have to make my "major entrance" as the captain of squad seven. That's how all high class parties' start."

Gintoki groans. "So I'll basically be going in alone!"

Kamui laughs. "Don't worry after the entrance I'll find you." Kamui raises his eyebrows at him. "Also you have to dress… better."

Gintoki gives a disgusted face. "Aw dammit, I'm not going."

"Hey! Yeah you are!" Kamui yells. "You can just leave after I had the taste of the food."

"Oi, you just go to the parties for the food?"

Kamui shrugs. "Well yeah, the rest is boring."

The elder narrows his eyes at them. "Wait, if the Harusame are invited, what about that Takasugi guy? Wouldn't he be there?"

Gintoki chuckles. "He wouldn't. He just made an alliance with them." He smiles. "I think that alliance is long gone."

"I have a bad feeling about this…" The elder mumbles.

Gintoki puts his hands behind his head. "What's bad about it?"

The elder shrugs. "Just a feeling."

Kamui sighs, standing up. "Oh well, I need to find Abuto. See you at the party." He turns, walking out the shoji.

Gintoki looks over at the elder. "So when do you think the Tendoshuu will come back?"

The elder shrugs. "Soon…"

Gintoki chuckles. "Hey do you have a name?"

The elder raises an eyebrow at him. "My name?" He smiles. "I haven't heard my name in so long I forgot it."

Gintoki laughs. "Forgot it? Really? Well let me give you a new one." He leans forward propping his head up with his fist. He looks up. "How about Bonkura?"

"That's not a name!" The elder screams, jumping up.

Gintoki shrugs. "You're a dumbass, so yeah."

The elder's eye twitches. "You want me to kill you?" Gintoki laughs, causing the elder's face to soften as he falls back laughing to. He looks at Gintoki, grinning. "So what about a name?"

Gintoki smiles. "How about Ryouta?"

The elder tilts his head. "Ryouta? What's that mean?"

"Good and strong… Fits you don't you think?" Gintoki says, smirking.

The elder looks at him eyes wide. He smiles, gently. "Thank you."

Gintoki laughs. "Now should I name you Makoto?"

The elder's mouth twitches. "You really want me to kill you?"

Gintoki chuckles. "Ryouta it is."

Ryouta stands. "I'm going to walk around for a while, I've never been to earth."

Gintoki raises an eyebrow. "Really? You want me to go with you?"

Ryouta shakes his head. "No, I'll be fine." Gintoki nods. Ryouta walks over to the shoji, stopping. He looks over his shoulder. "Gintoki, be careful." With that he's gone.

"Gin- san!" A voice screams, followed by a huge crash as the shoji is kicked down.

Gintoki screams, falling off the couch, a copy of JUMP landing beside him. He looks up to see Otae, Kyubei, Tsukuyo, Sacchan, and Kagura, standing in the doorway.

"Why the hell did you just kick my door down?!" Gintoki screams.

Otae smiles. "We heard you're going to the Shogun's birthday party, so were here to take you to get something nice to wear."

"I don't need gorilla women to take me to get clothes." Gintoki retorts.

Otae cracks her knuckles, smiling. "What'd you say?"

Gintoki's mouth twitches. "Nothing…"

She chuckles. "Then let's go."

Otae holds up a button-down shirt to Gintoki. She looks at the girls behind her. "How about this one?"

Kyubei shakes her head. "It clashes with the silver."

"It's amazing." Sacchan whispers, blood flowing out of her nose.

Otae's eye twitches. "Saratobi, you said that for every single one."

"Well my Gin- san looks good in anything!" Sacchan screams, jumping through the air towards Gintoki. Gintoki brings his foot up, Sacchan's face connecting with it. He stomps on her face, only making Sacchan smile with happiness.

Otae turns to Tsukuyo. "How about you?"

Tsukuyo blushes. "Like Kyubei said, it clashes."

"Kagura?"

Kagura makes a face. "It looks like he's a white perm."

"Oi!" Gintoki screams at her. He kicks Sacchan, making her fly towards Kagura. Kagura kicks Sacchan to the side. Flashing Gintoki a smug look. Gintoki glares at her.

Otae sighs, shuffling through the stacks. She gasps, picking one up. She grabs an over jacket, pants and a tie. She throws them at Gintoki. "Try these on."

Gintoki sighs, walking to the dressing room.

"We didn't even see it, sis." Kagura complains.

Otae chuckles. "Trust me, you'll love it."

Everyone gasps as Gintoki steps out of the dressing room, even the workers stopped what they were doing. Gintoki fiddles with the ends of the black jacket. The red button-down shirt underneath, un tucked. A few buttons on the top were un-buttoned and the tie was hanging loosely. He looks up too glare at them. "I'm not tucking the shirt in, or tying the tie, it's too uncomfortable." He raises an eyebrow at the girls' red faces. "What? Does it not look good?"

"Gin- san… you look… amazing." Otae says, dumbfounded.

Gintoki sighs. "That's good. Now can I go?"

"Gin- chan! We have to go somewhere so you can show off!" Kagura exclaims, eyes bright. "Maybe you'll even be able to get a girlfriend!" Otae, and Tsukuyo quickly smack her behind the head. Kagura gasps. "Ow! Tsukky! Sis! What was that for?!"

"No! Gin- san's mine!" Sacchan screams, jumping out of nowhere towards him. Gintoki quickly ducks, Sacchan's face smacking into the wall.

Gintoki sighs again, looking over at the clock on the wall. "Damn… I have twenty minutes." He looks at Otae. "We need to just pay for this. I need to leave now." She nods. Gintoki smiles. "Alright you can do that." He quickly runs out the front door of the store.

"That asshole!" Otae screams.

"Well he sure knows how to run when he needs to pay for something." Tsukuyo mumbles.

Kagura laughs, smiling, but the smile quickly falters. "I have a bad feeling about all this."

"So do I." Tsukuyo whispers. Otae nods, biting her lip. Sacchan picks herself up, blood streaming down her face, nodding her head in agreement.

"Hey Abuto?" Kamui says walking up to him, wearing his Chinese shirt, black pants and the standard captain's coat. "Doesn't it seem like were missing a few people?"

Abuto nods, looking around at the seventh squad gathered. "A few? More like a dozen."

Kamui sighs. "Oh well." He pauses shaking his head. "Abuto, do you feel like something's off? Like something bad is going to happen?"

Abuto chuckles. "Never thought that I'd see the day when our precious captain would become worried."

Kamui glares at Abuto. "Don't think I won't hesitate to kill you if you ever call me worried again."

Abuto sighs. "And he's back… But yeah I do have that feeling."

Kamui smiles. "Oh well, we'll see when we get out there. I wonder if Gintoki's here yet."

Abuto raises an eyebrow. "He got invited?"

"Yeah, apparently he's a friend of the Shogun's." Kamui says. He tilts his head. "I wonder what kind of food they'll have."

Abuto's mouth twitches. "Why is it that all you think about is food?"

"Name?" A man asks at the door.

"Sakata Gintoki." He says, lazily.

The man looks down the list, he smiles. "Go ahead in…"

Gintoki nods, opening the huge door. His eyes widen as he enters a huge room with a really high ceiling. Chandeliers hang from the ceiling, twinkling. People were everywhere. High- class people. The girls' were all dressed in brightly colored gowns, jewelry sparkling. The guys were dressed similar as Gintoki, but more expensively with gold watches on their wrists and gold cuff links. Gintoki's eye twitches. "I definitely don't belong here." He mumbles. He looks down at his un-tucked shirt and loose tie. He looks around. "Well at least no one's looking at me in disgust."

"Sakata Gintoki." A voice says behind him.

Gintoki turns around in surprise, his eyes widen. "Hey…"

The Shogun smiles at him warmly, handing him a drink. "How do you like my party?"

Gintoki smiles, looking around again. "It's nice. I feel like I stick out to much, but it's nice. Oh and happy birthday."

Shogun smiles, chuckling. "Thank you." He sighs. "I hardly even know these people. I wish I could just invite you, your Yorozuya friends and the others I made in the Shinsengumi. It'd just be so much better.

Gintoki raises an eyebrow. "Did the Shinsengumi come?"

Shogun nods. "Yeah, but Matsudaira had them guard the outside instead of coming in." He smiles. "You're my only friend in here."

Gintoki smiles taking a sip of the drink, pulling it back in surprise when it's only sake. He turns to the Shogun to say something, but stops when a gong sounds.

Shogun smiles. "The captains and the lieutenants of the Harusame are here."

Gintoki looks up at a huge staircase, he watches the first six captains of the Harusame walk down with their lieutenants. Next is Kamui and Abuto. Gintoki chuckles, shaking his head at the short kid in the long captain's coat. Kamui sees him chuckling, he scowls at him, but quickly smiles. Abuto laughs beside him. Kamui jabs him with an elbow. Making Abuto groan.

Gintoki watches the rest of the Harusame. The first squad hasn't even made it down to the bottom of the staircase yet.

An amanto at the side of the staircase picks up a microphone. He smiles at the crowd, his gaze seeming to rest on Gintoki. "On a special occasion of Takagawa Shige Shige's birthday we will have some special guests."

Shogun sighs. "It's probably people I don't even know."

Gintoki smiles uneasily as he still feels the gaze of the amanto with the microphone.

The amanto grins. "Only a few could make it tonight." He bows dramatically. "I give you the Tendoshuu."

Gintoki drops his glass of sake, the glass shattering on the marble floor, he takes a step back. "W-What?" He looks at the Shogun to make sure he heard right. The Shogun looked as confused as he was. Kamui and Abuto had stopped on the stairs, staring at the entrance at the top of the stairs, eyes wide.

The elder that fought with Gintoki walks up and stands on the top of the stairs. More elders walking up behind him. The elder looks around his gaze resting on Gintoki. He grins widely. He holds his hand out for the amanto to give him the microphone. He laughs into the microphone. "First of all happy birthday to the great Tokugawa Shige Shige! I'm afraid the party would have to end early, due to some complications." He chuckles. "You may come in now."

Gintoki and the Shogun whirl around when the people start screaming. Amanto come through every door and window, smashing them to bits.

Gintoki whirls around, eyes fierce as he glares at the elder. "You son of a-"

He's stopped by the elder laughing. He grins. "Sakata Gintoki, I told you that you'd become an enemy of the entire amanto race! Also an enemy of the human race! What better way than to start with the killing of the precious Shogun?!"

The amanto push the Shogun away from Gintoki, holding swords to his throat.

"Oi!" Gintoki yells, turning towards him, but the amanto surround him, pointing there weapons at him.

"Gintoki!" Kamui yells, running down the steps. The sixth squad captain quickly lashes his foot out at Kamui. Kamui dodges, jumping back next to Abuto, gritting his teeth in pain as he grabs his chest. "What the hell?!"

The captains and their lieutenants turn to look at Kamui grinning.

The look of pain passes as Kamui smirks getting into his stance, he looks behind him as the other captains and lieutenants are smirking at them. "Abuto, I think we missed something."

Abuto chuckles, facing the captains and lieutenants behind them, getting into his stance. "This is going to be fun."

Kamui grins widely. "Hell yeah it will."

The elder laughs. "Sakata Gintoki, if only you joined us, this wouldn't have happened." His eyes flash. "Now you will have all these people's deaths on your conscious." Gintoki glares at him. The elder continues. "Gintoki, I said the country would hate you." He smiles. "They will… As soon as they learn how the Shiroyasha otherwise known as Gintoki has killed their precious Shogun."

"What are you-'' Gintoki starts. His eyes widen turning he dodges the oncoming sword, punching the amanto. "Shogun!" He screams. More amanto swarm around him, between him and the Shogun. "Get the hell out of my way!" He screams, kicking and punching the amanto in front of him, but it's no use more amanto just replaced the rest. Gintoki looks over them as he punches them. Seeing the Shogun. "Sho-" He stops, as a trail of blood runs down the Shogun's neck.

The people around had started screaming, running for the doors, but the amanto blocked them off, killing one man who tried to break through them.

Gintoki's eyes darken. He grabs a sword by the blade causing the wielder to gasp. Gintoki grits his teeth, ripping the sword from the amanto's hands, he flips it in the air, catching it by the hilt in his bloody hand. Swinging it he cuts the amanto across the chest. He glares at the amanto who now looked scared. "Get the hell away from him!" He screams, running forward he cuts down ten amanto in a matter of seconds. "Shogun!" He screams.

The elder laughs. "Goodbye, Tokugawa Shige Shige…"

Blood splatters through the air as Gintoki screams. "NO!"
