Destined To Love You

Chapter 14

"Hey, are you already 18?" ̶ the white perm asked the vermilion head who was standing in the living room.

Kamui: Yeah... Why'd you ask?

Gin: Well, I can't let minors drink beer.

- Gintoki opened the refrigerator and fetched 2 cans of beer. He then went to the living room and handed one to Kamui.

Gin: Have a seat.

- Kamui sat on the sofa opposite Gintoki. The latter then opened his can and took a sip.

Gin: Ahhh... So... You wanna know how I knew about your sister, Kagura, right?

Kamui: You really do know her...

Gin: *sigh* Well, I met your sister 10 years ago...

Gintoki's POV

- One night, it was raining back then... I was sent on a mission on Rakuyou...

*sigh*

"What a perfect timing..."

- I ran to an abandoned building to seek shelter from the rain. As I was wiping my wet clothes, I suddenly heard an unusual sound.

"What was that? Is someone else here?"

- I heard another sound. It was like a sob, a child, maybe? I could feel sweat started to form on my forehead. I want to check if there was really a person inside the building, or if it was something else. So I went to where the sound was coming from...

"It really is a child!"

- I went closer to her. She was hugging her knees so I couldn't see her face clearly. Is she real, or just a... *gulps* ghost?

"Oi, what are you doing here? Are you alright ̶ "

- I suddenly found myself being punched on the face by a little girl who was just crying moments ago... So, she's not a ghost. It really hurt, though. I looked at her. She was a bit surprised, but she was still crying.

"Gomen... I didn't mean to scare you. Believe me, I'm a good guy. I won't hurt you..."

- The little girl then looked at me straight in the eye. She stopped crying.

"Gomenasai, mister... I didn't mean to punch you..."
