Voyage of Unfamiliar: Gintama Fanfiction

Long Wait

As soon as Tsukuyo opened the door, Kagura immediately saw Nobume and Kamui, "Nobume?! Baka-aniki?!", Nobume glanced at Kagura with astonishment, so Nobume stood up and walked towards Kagura, Kagura smiled widely and hugged Nobume. "I and Soyo-chan never received any mails from you! I mean, I get it since you're the only one doing all the work and stuff but it must have been tough" Kagura said, "Well..." Nobume looked at Kamui and then at Kagura. Kagura noticed what Nobume meant, and she was dumbfounded, Kamui leaned from behind on the chair he was sitting on to look at Kagura, "yo! Lil' sis!" He greeted, Kagura "you don't mean- huh?!".

...
A few minutes later...

"You worked together?!", Nobume told Kagura everything and apologized for not telling her and Princess Soyo, she felt bad since both of her friends were worried about her. "I never expected you to work with my stupid broke brother", Kagura winced and looked at his brother, "Glad to see you too", Kamui told her sarcastically.
...
"wait a minute, what are you guys doing here with my baldy of a dad?" Kagura asked, Nobume looked distracted again, "I-", "We're coming with all of you" Kamui interrupted Nobume, Thinking hard again? You always do that, but in the end, you'd often end up saying yes, Kamui thought. "You guys too?" Kagura looked excited yet she looked eager, she even noticed her brother and father looked uneasy.
How unsettling...

"More people adding up, huh. Umibozu, two people from Shinsengumi are also coming", Tsukuyo informed them, "what?"
This mosun clan is clearly being a huge pain in the ass for others He thought. "They'll do". "People from the Shinsengumi? I wonder who are those two going to be" Kamui sarcastically smiled, "Huh... Kagura, don't tell me they've come back?" Nobume asked, Kagura just sighed in return while Nobume was in relief, "so they're home"...
Kagura leaned towards Nobume to whisper in her right ear, "Why did you agree on going with him?", Nobume looked at Kagura, "I just felt like I have to, and I did", "well that was weird for you to admit it" Kagura said. Aimi was blushing for some reason.

Moments later, Nobume showed Aimi a navigator they recently found, "is this..." Umibozu and Gengai looked at the navigator, "this is different from the navigator you found, Aimi, but it has the same materials" Gengai told Aimi, "this means, they know they're being tracked, ha! They're so confident, they didn't even bring their comrades with them" Aimi chuckled. "Tomorrow is the day where all of this madness starts, see you guys!" Aimi walked out of the workshop with Umibozu. Most of them eyed Aimi suspiciously, "why does that woman seem so excited, but I'm not sensing any blood lust from her" Nobume asked, "weird, right?" Kagura added, Tsukuyo crossed her arms and sighed, "Aimi... Was called the darling of lust in yoshiwara for a reason, so this trip will bring her pleasure in a way. I hate to admit it but, she's-", "A freaky woman" Gengai interrupted. Pleasure in what way, though, Kagura thought.
"Well, I guess that's a description for her..." Tsukuyo sighed, "How old is she, Tsukii?", "28", Tsukuyo answered Kagura. "Whatever, I'm coming tomorrow to whatever we may go," Kamui said, "I'm going now, ah, Nobume, can I have the keys to your house?", "what? you're staying in Nobu's house?!" Kagura exclaimed, "only for the meantime", Nobume replied. 

...

 Kagura and Nobume went to go for a walk nearby, "are you sure you don't want to talk to your brother?" Nobume asked, "even if I talked to him he won't listen, he's not the type of person who would listen or who would openly share his feeling, even to his family", "hm, I guess", "by the way Nobume, how did it go?", "what do you mean?", Kagura grinned, "I mean, a whole year with that psycho? I'm still surprised that you wanted to work with him", "I guess we did fine. They wanted to help for money. Your brother was also a pain in the ass", "tell me about it" Kagura deadpanned, "but, he didn't do much trouble" Nobume finished. Looks like she tamed him a bit, that's crazy. Is it just me or is an unexpected relationship is forming in them? Kagura thought. They were both heading to the palace, "Soyo-chan's going to be mad", Kagura assumed while Nobume accepted it. 

...

-Back at Gengai's Workshop-

"Gengai-san, how many people do we need to stay for the machine?" Aimi asked, "about two people, it's like working on shifts, if I would say", Gengai replied holding his tea, "It's a heavy job too, you have to stay awake and watch every move we make" Umibozu added, "well we do have a very determined young robot lady, and a little one", "huh?".

...

-Palace /tea room\-

"NOBUUUMEEE_SAAAN!!", "huh-", soyo immediately rushed towards Nobume and hugged her, Kagura smiled and Nobume was surprised. "I thought you were dead! You should send us letters sometime!" Soyo pouted at her. 

"So Nobume-san, since you're back, I presume that you are finished?" Soyo asked, "Not exactly", "oh, well I understand, you're doing your work all alone though. Oh sorry, I'm not going to talk about this anymore since it must have been very stressful for you", It was, actually, Nobume thought. "She was working with my brother," Kagura said while eating mochi, "who- oh you mean that guy?! I remembered the time he tried to kill me! How'd it go?" Soyo said while looking at Nobume intensely, She moved on so fast?! Kagura thought, Nobume dropped a sweat.

...

"I see, so he's cooperative with you, I guess he likes you, Nobume-san" Soyo teased Nobume, Kagura also smirked to that idea, "What do you mean, that prick won't even spend a day without trying to break my sanity". 

"Hey! Hijikata-san and the others are back. Have you met them yet, Nobume-san? It's been so long as well" Soyo smiled, "we'll be meeting them again tomorrow, we have something important to do" Nobume replied. "I'm glad, a year is just sooo long. I'll be going on a date tomorrow too," Soyo said, "a... date?" Nobume slightly tilted her head, confused. "Oh, him" Kagura sighed, "You don't know what a date is, don't you? Nobume-san, Kagura-chan" Soyo teased Kagura and Nobume, "I do, but I never had a real one", Kagura told soyo, "me.. too?" but Nobume was numb. "The man I'm going to meet is from a noble family. I have to get married, I'm almost 22" Soyo informed them, Kagura and Nobume smiled at Soyo's cheerfulness as they both hope that the man she'll be meeting will make their friend, Soyo happy. Soyo barely felt freedom in the palace, but as time passes she was able to cope with her position more. "If I'm going to be honest, I've met this man before, he was a kind and a humble man, that's why, whenever I think about the date tomorrow, I can't help but feel butterflies in my stomach" Soyo blushed, "falling in love is something that will change you beautifully, inside and out," Soyo said meaningfully while Kagura and Nobume were familiarizing with the feeling. "And I hope that the both of you will experience it soon!" Soyo told both of her friends. "or if both of you want to feel it already, you should read this!" Soyo brought out a romance manga that has written "18+" on it.
