Darkness swept over my vision as anger began to take over me.

He did it.

He had done it.

He just had to do it.

And he's going to pay for what he had done.

I slowly pulled my sword out and readied to kill him.

I had to kill him.

He had ruined my life.

Before and just right now.

"Just as I planned," I heard him mumble under his voice but ignored it as I ran for him, raising my katana and pushed it down, so it would go through him, cutting him in half.

But he blocked my move with his bokuto and jumped back, a few yards away from me, and ran away.

I was about to run for him but two arms wrapped around my waist, making me stop from getting him.

"Let him go," said the person who was hugging me from behind.

"Get off of me! I have to kill him!" I yelled, trying to get out of the person's grip and ignoring the looks I was getting from the people who walked by.

"Shineko, think straight! You're not thinking!"

As soon as I recognized the voice, I stopped moving and turned around. "Shinsuke?"

"Takasugi!" someone yelled from behind and they were two the Shinsengumi members who was running toward us.

"Kamui!" Shinsuke called, "knock them out!"

Kamui, whom I had completely forgotten about, knocked Hijikata and Sougo like it was the easiest thing to do and walked over to us. "Now, where do we go?" he asked with his freaky smile on his face.

"Back to my ship," Shinsuke answered.


"Gin-san? What happened?" Shinpachi cried as he saw Gintoki's wound.

Gintoki had thought he had blocked Shineko's attack but he hadn't. The tip of her katana had went through his shoulder, giving him a 5 inch deep cut.

"I did it. Now she would hate me forever and won't even think of me, ever," he mumbled and collapsed into Shinpachi's arms.

"Gin-san?" cried a confused Shinpachi.

"I did what I was supposed to do," Gintoki murmured back.

"Gin-san? Gin-san? Are you okay? What happened?"

"Shinpachi?" Kagura came over to the entrance to see what was going on, "what happened?"

"Gin-san! He's- he's!"

"Oh... that monster rejected him, right?"

"What?" Shinpachi cried in surprise, "that's it?"

"It's so much for Gin-chan, Shinpachi," said Kagura like she had been heartbroken earlier in her life.

"What? Don't talk about it like you've been rejected by someone! You've even never been in love before!"

"I'm a girl! Even if I haven't experienced it, know what it feels like!"

The two began yelling their heads off at each other while Gintoki was lying on the floor, watching the two from his half-closed eyes.

Maybe this is what its supposed to be. He thought. She's not supposed to be with us but with them.

Gintoki pulled both sides of his lips up and forced himself to push his feelings away.

The next time he meets her, he has to attack her like she's an actual enemy.

No, she is an enemy.
