"What the hell do you mean implode?!" The Shinsengumi vice-chief asked in shock.
"I mean just that." Koga replied, his tone much lighter than his words content. "The magma core of the Earth will crumble and everything else above that will crumble with it."
"What? Why is the Earth imploding?! And how would we be able to stop that?!" The boy with glasses panicked.
"You see there is an organization called the Planet Destroyers, obviously because they destroy planets (they are not original at all), and they are currently below Edo getting the Earth ready to blow." The dirty man explained.
"And how do you know this?" Sougo asked, narrowing his eyes, "You look dirty enough to have been drilling underground."
Koga smiled and nodded. "I know because I have been drilling underground. You see I have infiltrated the group when I met them at a space bar but I want to stop them so that's why I'm here."
"He spoke about them as well." Gintoki said. "He said he was planning to kill them before he comes after me again."
"Well of course. You think a man such as him would come for a simple samurai from a long ended war?" Koga asked. "No. He came here because of them and only went after you because he had some free time. Well more accurately he is after the leader. The notorious legend throughout the universe who is said to have destroyed 12 planets."
Everyone quieted and leaned in to listen.
"The leader of the Planet Destroyers." Koga smiled and his face and even the room seemed to darken. "His name is...***** ********."
Everyone in the room fell flat on their face before the two straight men of the groups stood up and shouted. "WHY THE HELL IS HIS NAME COMPLETELY BLEEPED OUT?"
"WE ALREADY HAVE HAD CUSS WORDS IN THE STORY SO WHY ARE WE BLEEPING NOW?" Hijikata continued.
"AND WHO HAS A NAME THAT NEEDS TO BE BLEEPED?" Shinpachi finished.
"Oi he admitted to be apart of the group so can I kill him now?" Gintoki asked while drawing his sword.
Sougo stopped him though. "You can't kill him, danna." He then drew his own sword. "He needs to be punished by us for wasting our time before he is allowed to die."
"Woah woah woah!" Koga raised his hands in surrender and fear as the two men advanced on him. "That's not my fault! His name is literally just a bunch of bleeps!"
"What the hell kind of name is that?" Hijikata demanded.
"Now now. Let's all calm down." The Shinsengumi chief broke in trying to settle everyone down. "I'm sure it is some fancy name from some planet way out there that we haven't heard of. It is rude to act like that without knowing the culture."
"Kondou-san." Shinpachi looked at him with a sort of respect one would not think capable of if you think back to the second chapter.
"Actually remember how I said they aren't original at all?" Koga broke in. "Well they were getting some hate for that from other crime organizations and so to try and be original he changed his name to just bleeps." He started chuckling evilly. "He was a moron to take such a stupid suggestion from me."
Two hands suddenly appeared behind him and slammed his head into the nearby wall. The two sadists wiped their hands simultaneously as blood began to flow from the victim's head.
"Well I think we are done here. How about you Souichiro-kun?" The silver sadist asked.
"I'm Sougo. And yes I think we only have trash left here." The blond sadist replied back.
Gintoki turned to walk out the door as Kondou helped pull the dying man's head out the wall. "Come on Pastuan. We're leaving."
"Wait! Gin-san!" Shinpachi hurried after him as the samurai left without a backwards glance. Hijikata and Sougo watched them go as Kondou slapped Koga's face in the background, trying to wake him up.
The two members of the Yorozuya walked away from the Shinsengumi headquarters in silence for a while before the younger decided to break the silence. "I think we should have helped him out Gin-san. The name was ridiculous but the threat seemed to be real." He paused and spoke quieter this time. "Especially with that man going around as well."
Gintoki sighed and rubbed his head. "Look. We have saved the world on plenty of occasions. We can let those tax robbers save the world for once. For now we need to make sure Kagura is okay."
Shinpachi frowned as he watched the back of his mentor. He could tell Gintoki was worrying a great deal about what Koga had said, especially with the so called Hunter of Legends. They walked in a fragile silence to their house with the threats and worries of the future weighing heavily on the two men.
When they got close to the house they saw two women standing outside the bar and smoking, one with a cigarette and the other with a kiseru.
"Otose-san! Tsukuyo-san!" Shinpachi ran ahead of Gintoki towards the two women. "Is Kagura here? Is she okay?"
"She is just upstairs." The older lady with the cigarette replied to the teen before he ran quickly upstairs. Otose glanced at Gintoki's face before following Shinpachi upstairs.
Gintoki stopped in front of the bar and looked up at the second story as Shinpachi ran inside. Some yelling could be heard from him as well as from Kagura and Otae. Tsukuyo walked over next to him and let out a breath of smoke. "You look like hell, Gintoki."
"Shut up."
She took another puff of smoke and continued. "I heard about what happened from Otae. I spread my network as far out as I could but we couldn't find much more about him. We also have the problem of that earthquake that hit." Her eyes darkened when she mentioned the earthquake.
Gintoki noticed her change and turned to her about to say something but she started talking again. "Oh there is some good news. We learned about a man who might know more about the one after you. We don't know where he is now but his name is-"
She was interrupted by the yell of a man jogging towards them. "Sakata-san! I came to you for a reason you can't just leave. This world is in danger."
"Danger? Who is this and what is he talking about?" The scarred woman asked in confusion of the man's sudden and dirty entrance.
"Just some space punk who those crappy cops can't seen to keep track of. Kinchi Yubiri or something like that." Gintoki said with an annoyed expression on his face as he turned to face the man.
"It's Koga Yurinari. A very easy name to remember."
"K-koga?" Tsukuyo said quietly with shock. How the hell did a man her Hyakka couldn't find just waltz up out of nowhere?
"It doesn't matter what it is. I want no part in anything you have to say. The stupid Bakufu should help you out not me." Gintoki said with intent to drive the dirty man away.
"Oh come on. I came here searching for you since the governments of the last planets couldn't do anything against them." Koga started trying to convince him. "It was not easy slipping out of the hole we dug. I had to activate the earthquake machine early to delay them a few more days and to slip out."
"Wait a minute." Gintoki turned towards Koga with a shocked face. "You mean that earthquake was because of you?" Neither noticed the stiffening of the woman near them at the realization.
Koga sobered up before answering. "I had to cause that minor earthquake or no warning about the Planet Destroyers would have gotten out before it was too late. I didn't want to but-"
He was cut off as a kunai whizzed past his face and cut his cheek. He cried out in pain and surprise before turning to see the Courtesan of Death standing before him with tears and anger in her eyes. "It's your fault. It's your fault Hinowa is hurt!"
Multiple kunai flew out of the woman's hand towards Koga's head but stopped short when a wooden sword knocked them away and the silver haired samurai jumped in between the two. The man who almost died fell back from the shock. Silence enveloped the three as none moved before the one on the ground spoke. "I-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
Tsukuyo just snarled at his apology and prepared to attack again but Gintoki stood directly in her way. "Move. That bastard hurt her. I won't forgive him so move Gintoki!"
Instead of moving, he reached out his hand and grabbed her hand that was holding the kunai. She gasped at the sudden touch and clenched her fist tighter around the kunai. "She'll be okay." He spoke softly as he pulled her hand closer to him. "Hinowa is okay. Kagura is okay." He slowly removed one of her fingers off the blade as he spoke. "But the one's who hurt them will not be."
"Gintoki." She could only whisper as he looked into her eyes and showed the fire within his own.
"The man behind me is not the one who caused this. It was his crappy leader with the shit name so he is the one you should kill. Luckily the one who hurt Kagura is also trying to kill him and so we can kill him while we are at it." He smiled slightly as he removed the kunai from her hand completely. "Save this one for them."
She just chuckled slightly and wiped her eyes. "How is it you always know what to say at times like these but at other times you are a complete moron?"
Gintoki only shrugged before the two of them turned toward the man who was still sitting on the ground. "It never really hit me till now." His arms shook as he let out a slight chuckle to hold back his tears. "I'm sorry. I truly am but I needed to cause it. It was the only thing I could do."
"Come inside then." Gintoki turned and headed up to his house and business. "Yorozuya will take any job."
"He is different from what I imagined." The man on the ground mumbled.
"Of course he is." Tsukuyo said, still with iron in her voice towards him while following the silver haired samurai. "You came expecting a legend but he is just a deadbeat."
"No." Koga whispered to himself so that she couldn't hear with a smile as he stood up. "He is an even greater man than I imagined. Your own smile tells me that."
I was busy and trying to make it longer so it took some time but here it is. I have no idea how long this story will be but it might take awhile.
