Chapter 7 - It's like solving a long damn equation just to get it right.

Earlier that day, the two fought nonetheless. When the Silver Head's true intention was to have a closure to the young girl. Alas! His Intention backfired him, they argue more. And more misunderstanding came flying everywhere. That the only thing he do is to scratch his. Sighing, grumbling and feeling tired at the moment. And now they are rushing there selves at their job place.

Gin-san groaned loudly enough that Shinpachi notice it. While walking He glance at him wondering what the problem is. So, being as he is. He ask him.

"Ne… Gin-san!" he called then the latter look at him and response hmn... "Well… I'm just curious, why you look so tired?" he ask. While a thought came from his mind that he should be the one that needs to look tired!

"HAH!" he groaned and veins pop at his face. Remembering the scenes a while back making him lose focus and annoyed. "Well damn I'm tired of thinking" He gritted his teeth and Shinpachi looking at him with curiosity.

"Then don't think about it! Whatever that is" what he replied to his Lazy Boss even though he doesn't even know the reason of his dilemma? Gintoki on the other hand thought that he'll just focus on their job, but part of him wants to ditch it and drink or go to Pachinko.

Shinpachi notice his behaviour. So, before he says crazy stuff. He was the first one to break the cold ice and uttered "Well… Whatever that look is. I won't budge Gin-san" The perm head look at him annoyed and Shinpachi smirked back at him feeling like he won or something. But to Gintoki his lazy to even fought back or retort so. He sighed and walked lazily. Shinpachi adjusted his glasses and glance at the Perm head and mumbled to himself. "He seems Odd? Well… now that I think about it. Back at Yorozuya he looks…" massaging his chin "some kind of troubled by something." While Kagura is Busy humming a song that she didn't notice her surroundings.

-o0o-

It's now late in the afternoon. The Silver head known as Gintoki walking along the Kabuki-Cho Street alone still troubled by something or someone. When a strange long hair guy with a strange ugly looking duck came to his sight, startled him.

"Gintoki!" muttered the long hair guy. "Why are you walking like a zombie in the middle of the street, you'll scare the people near you!" he bombarded him with questions.

Gintoki felt even tired seeing his face and sighed. "Nani Zura!" he groaned tiredly.

"Zura ja nai… Katsura da!" he uttered his signature line! And receive a light punch from Gintoki. The long haired joui rebel groaned in pain. "What's the matter Gintoki having love problem, that's not like you!" again he bombarded him a question but it sounded like a teasing to him as he wiped the blood on his npse.

"Nothing's wrong Zura!" Gintoki sighed.

"Zura ja nai… Katsu…ra…-""ump-" Gintoki punch his nose again before he finish his lines. "That hurts Gintoki!" Katsura uttered. While wiping his bloody nose his examining the looks of his old comrade and what he looks like bothered him so much that he wants to pester the silver head even if he got annoyed by doing it. He rub his chin and thinking of weird things. Gintoki saw him and make an annoyed façade.

Before he uttered some words he put his hands on katsura's face and push it. "What's with the look you're making damn Zura?!" he growled. "You making me gross out!" Katsura removed his hand on his face and smirk still rubbing his chin.

"Well your face sure is interesting today Gintoki" Teasing his friend to see what he'll looks like. But Gintoki cock his head and look at Zura boringly with confuse face.

"You look like you're having a bad day! I mean… I sure heck something is bothering you! Right?" he ask as matter of fact.

Gintoki groaned tiredly yet again. Looking at this man with long hair as if his a girl. "What! The hell are you spouting Zura! I sure am O.K.A.Y!" emphasizing all syllables coming from his mouth! "Also I'm tired! Our job just ended a while ago damn girly hair!" he muttered while picking his nose.

"Well… whatever you say, I'm going to believe what I saw!" he stubbornly quoted.

"Whatever you say Zura!" Gintoki sighed in desperation. What his old friend thought is not entirely wrong and not right either. It's just that his head is spinning nonetheless on what's happening. When suddenly he heard him calling his name over and over.

He cock his head towards him and look strangely. He place his palm on his head massaging it. "What now Zura?" tiredly as he sound.

Zura on the other hand rub his temple looking only at his old comrade and sighed "This sure is only once in a Lifetime chance for you Gintoki!" again he look at him confused and raised his eyebrows.

"Look I'm thinking of..." he paused and thought again before continuing what he was supposed to say! While the perm Samurai started to pick his nose waiting at whatever his friend will say.

"Okay!" he uttered loudly as if his done thinking "Gintoki... This will be the last time I'll treat you to drink! However you like!" he then clasped his hands while Gintoki look at him weirdly while thinking of what he just said to him. When it registered on his mind suddenly his eyes glitter in excitement and slap Zura's shoulder happily...

"Waaa... Zura I didn't know you have a good side in you!" still slapping his shoulder.

Annoyed Zura also slapped his hands to remove it from his aching shoulder. "Yeah! So stop slapping my shoulder Gintoki and let's move on! I might change my mind!" when he mentioned that Gintoki suddenly massage his back and look at him with puppy dog eyes.

"Aa... Dont be silly Zura! Aha…Ha~" imitating Sakamoto's laugh and drag Zura to their destination.

-o0o-

Otae and Kyuubei walking side by side not even shedding a words at each other. And that's because of how Otae has been spacing out since they started to… no even when they met a while ago. She notice how her friend, Otae seems a bit off and looks like she's in some kind of dilemma but didn't fathom to ask what seems to bother her this much. Because she knew that she'll never spill the bean to her. Because she knew better than anyone that Otae doesn't want to worry anyone just because of her. That's the kind of person she is. So, instead the eye-patched semi girl, kept quiet and wait till she wants to share it on her.

While walking the brunette noticed how her friend's deep in thought. She cocks her face towards Kyuubei. And ask "What's wrong Kyuu-chan?" Kyuubei suddenly jolted. And stuttered "A.a... no-nothing's wrong!" and sighed she didn't think that what she thought will backfired her.

Otae not convinced at what she says. And raised her eyebrows "Really? You seems… deep in thought though!" and asked worriedly.

Kyuubei jolted even more and wave at her "Really Otae-chan! There's no problem at all! Really!" she uttered defensively. Otae look at her wondering what she's hiding but shrug it off and answered "Okay if you said so!" she smiled at her genuinely and she smiled back.

"Are you going to work now Otae-chan?" she ask.

Otae paused for a second before answering "Y-yeah! Well I think my mind would be at peace if I go to work!" she mumbled the last words that Kyuubei didn't catch.

"E! What did you say? Otae-chan. I didn't heard the last one!" the confused Kyuubei ask

Otae tilt her head and smiled at Kyuubei "Nah! It's nothing, what I said is not that important anyway" her smile never leave her face, so that Kyuubei would buy it and ask nothing. But instead Kyuubei only sighed and just agree to what she says.

She smiled at her best girlfriend genuinely "Okay then! If that's what Otae-chan said, then I'll believe it." And in return Otae smiled back at her.

Silence welcomed the two as they walk down the bridge, wind embracing them. And as for Kyuubei who's uneasy at how her friend looks. Biting her nails as if it's delicious and all. She's worried at her but hence she can't even ask her what her problem is. And after a long thinking she breathed in and out and muster enough courage to ask her what's troubling her. And when she's about to open her mouth. Otae interrupt her thoughts asking her an outrageous question that she can't fathom.

"Ne... Kyuu-chan how do you know if you're in love?" Otae mumbled enough for her to hear. Kyuubei gulped at what she heard while her mouth is agape. Assuring herself she heard it wrong. She paused and wait if Otae will repeat it.

While on the other hand the Brunettes confused why her friend didn't even answer her. And when she realized what she just said. She became flustered all of a sudden. She blushed and shakes her head while laughing hysterically and sweat started to run her face. "A...hahahaha... We-well though... Hahaha really Kyuu-chan you don't need to answer tha~t"

"Are you in love?" a sudden question startled the brunette and again she shakes her head more hysterical and smiled.

"A...hahaha of course not... It's just that..."

"Did Kondo-san... reach you…? I mean your heart… finally?" she ask. While her head is spinning crazily muttering to herself that she'll kill a certain gorilla.

While Otae who suddenly realized what her friend uttered bewildered her "NO!" she blurted out suddenly. Both of them are shock and Otae compose herself and cough "No! Not him!" she adds calmly. While Kyuubei looked flustered at what she heard. And it seems that Otae didn't even notice one-bit of what came from her mouth.

The brunette sighed "You know forget I ask that... Hehehe..." she excuse and started to walk fast.

While on Kyuubei's mind there is something that hit her on what she said earlier. "Not him... Ha!" she mumbles to herself and look at her friend whose waving her hands to her.

"I'm leaving you behind Kyuu-chan!" she said loud. Not leaving the smile on her face. As for Kyuubei. She smirk and sighed before running towards her. Leaving in mind "There's nothing much I can do but to support her! Who might be that jerk is... I envy him!"
