THE FINAL CHAPTER?

AUTHOR: Finally, it's down to the final chapter. But… I'm confused if I should add another one.

GINTOKI: So, it really ends here?

AUTHOR: Hmm… I don't really know.

GINTOKI: So… In other words, it doesn't ends here?

AUTHOR: (nods)… To all the readers, thanks for reading my story especially for those who leave their reviews. It really motivated me to add this chapter. I apologize for the typing errors in the previous chapters.

GINTOKI: Oi. You completely ignored my question… And why the hell you're updating fast?

"Gin-chan, you haven't answered my question yet…" Said the yato girl. "Don't tell me you drank all night until you passed out in the park last night."

Gintoki glanced at him, seeing her looking at him curiously. He scratched his head and thought for a second if he should say the truth or not. She's just a kid anyway, so saying an inaccurate reason would be enough. "I didn't drink… and if I did, I should be already suffering from hangover. I just walked around the town and slept for a while in the park." He answered in an irritated manner as he slouch his body on the couch and turned his back on her. He didn't tell her if he was alone that night. "Just let me rest for a while." He mumbled.

He just remembered that he fell asleep at the park last night with Tsukuyo. He just got awaken when an earless cat woke him up by rubbing his leg.

(FLASHBACK)

"Oi Gin wake up! Wake up! The sun is rising and it's embarrassing if people see you sleeping here with a woman" Said the cat inside his head that Gintoki can never hear. Instead he hears an annoying 'meow' while rubbing its paws constantly. He grunted in annoyance before he opened his tired eyes.

"Gnnn… What's all the ruckus?" He grunted as looked down, seeing the familiar cat looking at him. He blinked and tried to remember the cat. "H-Hoichi?"

"It's already morning Gin, you should take your woman home." The cat named Hoichi said inside its mind as he glared at him. Somehow Gintoki understands what the cat is trying to say by the way it glares at him. He suddenly remembered that he fell asleep a while ago while staring at the moon and now the sun is now rising up. He looked up the big clock at the park and it's already 15 past 6 a.m.

Something's heavy and warm on his lap. He looked down and saw her resting her head on his lap. She's been lying down on him with her legs bent, trying to fit herself on the small space of the bench.

"Oi, oi wake up Tsukuyo." He whispered but his words died out as noticed her peaceful sleeping face. He was surprised that she is cute when she's sleeping. He thought that ruining her peaceful sleep is rude.

"Damn, she's cute. Huh? Did I just think that she's cute?" He asked himself.

Hoichi glared at him once more like he's saying "You should take your woman home, Gin." Then he ran away to the bushes. Gintoki followed the cat with a look until he was completely off his sight.

"Hoichi, you owe me one." Then he glanced at her and draws a small smile on her. "Probably I should take you to your beloved home, Tsukuyo."

It was hard positioning her until he can carry her on his back. He took a minute before he finally accomplished it but after all that, Tsukuyo wasn't bothered by that and her peaceful dreaming continues. "How tired are you really?" He asked like he was hoping for a respond. He walked slowly and avoided unnecessary moves. He might get stabbed with a kunai when she got awaken and found herself being carried by the sliver haired guy.

It's not easy to carry Tsukuyo while she's sleeping though sometimes she squirms and tries to change to a comfortable position. "…Quit moving…" He grumbled as he began to get irritated. He's trying to hold her securely.

Finally he arrived at very silent Yoshiwara. No one seems to be up except for the old man sweeping the path near Hinowa's house. "Finally…" he whispered to himself.

Stepping down the stairs down to the town is very hard to manage when you're carrying someone on your back. He walked straight to Hinowa's home before someone can see him. He knocked twice before he heard someone respond."…Coming!" It's Hinowa's voice who answered for sure.

Gintoki is now thinking of a valid reason as a sweat crawled down on his cheek .But before he can finalize it in his mind, the door slid open revealing the beautiful woman on the wheel chair. Her hair is already done like she's been awake for almost an hour.

"G-Gintoki…" She was surprised to see him.

"G-good morning Hinowa… long time no see." He tried to force himself to smile and act naturally."Uhmm… I brought Tsukuyo back… I don't want to wake her up for good. We j-just had a talk then she fell asleep. N-not more not less… R-really." He's trying his best to reason and he thought that she may suspect him that he did something indecent.

"I understand." She said softly all of a sudden. He paused for a second and blinked.

"Eh… Really?" He can't believe that she believes in him.

"Yes. I know. I saw you both before you left last night."

"Really… *sigh* Thank goodness." A relief. It was a relief. He felt suddenly that someone is coming.

A moment later a small group of Hyakka members came from the roofs landed behind him with kunai on their hand and gave Gintoki a sharp look while in a fighting position.

"Boss Tsukuyo." One of the Hyakka called out to her but to no respond. Upon hearing that Gintoki turned around and looked at them in an uninterested manner and gestured to be quiet.

"Yoshiwara Savior." Said one of the Hyakka.

"Just call me by my name… I'm not comfortable calling me like that." He demanded softly, trying not to disturb his angel's beautiful sleep.

"What happened to her? Did something bad come up?" Asked one of the worried Hyakka women.

"Now, now… No need to worry. Your boss just needed some sleep. She was with Gintoki all night and nothing serious happened. Tsukuyo insisted for it anyway." Interrupted Hinowa, saving Gintoki from reasoning. They all paused in silence. But did she really save her for some reasoning or did she tried to miss the point.

"With Gintoki… All night…" The Hyakka women mumbled together at the same time as they place their thumb under their chin and looked up, trying to imagine something… Something dirty.

At the moment they paused again and looked at silver haired guy with evil smile.

"Eh? What is it? Really. What is it?" He blinked. He looked at them and started to get confused.

One of them approached him, looking at him seriously. He gulped and took stepped backward, thinking that she might attack him.

"Please…" She bowed all of a sudden.

"Eh?"

"Please take care of our Tsukky." She finished in a begging manner.

Huh? What's up with her? Did Hinowa say something that clearly misunderstands the whole point? His mind starts to ask questions.

"BOSS!" All of the women shouted and bowed at him altogether at the same time.

"Boss? Did they just call me 'boss'?" He asked to himself inside.

. "We'll be counting on you." Followed up the other woman then left one by one by jumping back to the roofs to continue their patrolling. All that noise didn't even bother the sleeping Tsukky.

The cool morning wind blew softly as the leaves crawl on the cold hard ground and Gintoki was stuck frozen there for seconds.

"See? Even the Hyakka women are nice to you." She broke the silence.

She quickly turned around and faced Hinowa. "What was that act? They looked at me like that and they called me boss. What was that suppose to mean?" He was pissed-off. He tried to control his voice, not to shout too loud.

"Please follow me to her room."She completely ignored him and turned around but in the corner of his eyes, he swore that he saw her smile darkly before she completely turned her back on him. She gestured as they both went inside.

The house is very quiet that only his footsteps can be heard inside. He tried to glance at every room they pass to see if the Seita is around but he didn't saw him. Hinowa stopped at the front of a bed room with a bed in the corner. "Just lay her down to my bed." She spoke softly while sliding the door open.

Without a word, Gintoki went inside.

"Gintoki." She called out. He stopped for a moment and waited.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"What is it?" He responded without looking at her. She exhaled deeply and gave herself sometime.

"She's been staying up late these past few days after she heard a rumor about the faction who's been selling drugs around Yoshiwara… She might get into trouble again… Please protect Tsukuyo… Can you do that for me?" She said with eyes full of worries for Tsukuyo.

"Another faction? Drugs again? Life here is really tough…but." He mumbled and followed with a smirk.

He just smiled secretly. "Sure. She owes me one anyways. She accompanied me last night. Plus I haven't seen any action for some time."

Her face was enlightened after hearing that word. "Thank you, Gintoki."

Tsukuyo suddenly squirmed again, catching the attention of Hinowa.

"Don't be so squirmy…" He mumbles in an irritated manner.

.

.

.

He felt her warm breathe behind his ear. "Thank you…" Tsukuyo whispered very softly to his ear but Hinowa also heard it. A moment after that he felt a soft kiss landed on his cheek. He was surprised. But she's still sleeping.

(Click) "A day to remember." Whispered Hinowa, captured that very nice scene.
