The two animes will cross over soon. I swear.
I don't own Gakuen Alice or Gintama, geezus cripes.
She's quickly up on her feet.
"I will never work for any man, unless his hair is silver and his name is Gintoki!" Ayame yells. "Then we'll talk!"
The messenger steps back, obviously confused and a little scared for his life. He quickly regains composure, like a true ninja, and Ayame thinks that deserves some praise.
"I'm not sure if you were listening for the past half-hour at all, Sarutobi-san." The messenger waves a scroll in her face. "Your mission is to train a young man with the alias 'Black Cat', and you will work with him on future missions until he is well-trained."
Ayame stares blankly at him. "The Oniwabanshu exists to train ninjas," she says. "What are they doing? Drowning each other in the ocean?"
"Unfortunately, yes." The messenger doesn't skip a beat. "The old couple actually recommended your skills for this mission."
Oh. Ayame doesn't know if she should gloat or feel embarrassed.
"I knew they would, of course, but a girl can't resist flattery!" She somehow manages a mix of both by laughing, full of pride, while a blush graces her cheeks.
"Right." The messenger coughs. "You'll meet the trainee here at midnight tomorrow. That's all."
