The whole area suddenly started to shake. "W-What's happening? Is it an enemy attack?" i asked worried. "No.. they did it finally" Tsukuyo replied with a smile. "Did what?" Light poured into the area brightening the whole dark town. "It can't be..! T-The sun!" Hosen screamed in pain as his skin started burning. "Go Gintoki! Burn off the chains of the King of the night!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. He ran towards him with his blade and pierced his heart before throwing him out on the roof. Something inside me told me to go to Hosen, right now without any delay. "Where are you going?" Gintoki held me back. "Huh?" i was already walking without telling my body to do so. "I-I need to see something. Please?" "I'll go with you" with that he supported me to walk towards Hosen's lying body. I saw Hinowa put his head on her lap which i don't know why but made me smile a bit. Hosen's eyes moved from Hinowa's to me. His fingers moved slightly and i took it as a hint to come forward. "Careful" Gintoki spoke while i crouched down by his side. "You've grown into a fine young woman.. my child"
A few days later
"Earth to Hanae? HANAE!" "Hmm!" i was shaken from my thoughts by Gintoki. "What's wrong? You've been spacing out a lot since that Hosen guy died. What are you thinking about so much?" he peered into my face while holding my hand. Hosen's last words were still roaming around my head. I am his child? Yes, i know that Shouyou found me when i was very small but this information.. is very unexpected. "You even didn't come with me to meet Umibouzu. You liked that guy" "Huh?! I what?! I didn't go with you?!" i said in shock. "No, you didn't! Even after i tried dragging you there, you took me by the arm and threw me away. Thank God i didn't break any bones!" he almost shouted. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry. Were you hurt? I'm such a mess" i chugged down the water- shit, it was sake. "It burns!" "That was mine, you know? Anyways, it was days ago so forget it" he said sliding a glass of water to me. In any case, i have to meet up with Umibouzu and ask him about Hosen. No, wait. There's no point in asking. Nothing will change at all. The one who wasn't my father but he treated me like his daughter and the one who was my father but left me when i was born, nonetheless, none of them are alive now. That's my fate, i guess.
"In any case, Yoshiwara is a peaceful place now. Isn't that great? It all worked out in the end" Shinpachi said smiling. "What the hell worked out, moron?!" Kagura punched him in the face. "Those bastards could do whatever they want with this town if they felt like it! And why are they letting us flounder around here?! Are they toying with us?! I'm pissed!" Kagura's outburst caused me and Gintoki to chuckle. "Don't worry, as long as we both are alive, he won't touch this place" Gintoki said putting his arm around my shoulder. "Huh? What's that supposed to me?" Shinpachi and i looked at him in shock. "Well, yeah that's it" "Yeah, i have no idea what you're talking about Gin-san" Shinpachi narrowed his eyes at him. "You don't have to. At any rate, it's fine" he smiled at Shinpachi. I looked at his side profile and wondered what the hell happened when i was spacing out?
After a while, Gintoki, Tsukuyo and Shinpachi were conversing while i was talking with Hinowa. "Where's Seita now? I haven't seen that boy for a long time" i said. "Oh, he's at work now. No, there he is" she pointed outside and i followed her hand. Seita called out to us as he ran with a- What the fuck is he holding?! That's a dildo! "I've missed you all! I'm going to work hard in this-" and he stuck the toy into a man's ass after tripping. Oh my.. "What's the big idea, brat?!" the man chased him. "Tsukuyo-san help! We've got a- GAH! Where the hell are you aiming at?!" Shinpachi shouted as her kunais stuck to his forehead. "Outta the way, four eyes! Give me back my first, brat!" the victim shouted knocking everyone in the way. I laughed out loud watching the chase. "So, what do you think of this town?" Hinowa asked us. "It's just like some other town" i replied wiping the tear from laughing. "Yeah, it's just like ours. Vulgar and brutal, gentle and cold, smiles and tears and most importantly, you've got the sun. Just a normal town" Gintoki pulled me close as he spoke. "Isn't it wonderful?" she smiled warmly. "It is!"
