Love For A Samurai [Gintama: Gintoki x Reader]

From The Top

Kagura and Shinpachi climb up each rung of the ladder, enveloped in complete darkness. The shaft was narrow, and they were grazing their shoulders and backs along the walls all the way up.

"How high up is this?" Kagura paused to take a breath "My arms are like jelly!"

Shinpachi, unable to see a thing, collides the top of his head into Kagura's butt from below.

Both yelped in surprise, having an unexpected touch in a dark in a sort of scary place.

"Watch it, buddy! I know we're in a sex house, but you still need to have your manners!" Kagura berated.

"Keep moving then! Why did you stop?" Shinpachi was at the end of his rope.

"I'm tired," she whined, slowly ascending up the ladder once more.

Eventually, Kagura hit her head on something too, and it wasn't someones butt.

With a thunk, and a light clatter, Kagura could already feel the welt forming on her head.

"Owwww," she rubbed her fresh wound.

"What's wrong, Kagura-chan?" Shinpachi blinked with curiosity.

"I think we made it to the top," she deduced "but I can't see for shit what's up here".

"J-just feel around, or something!" Shinpachi became impatient.

"You'd like that, wouldn't you? You pervert."

"Kagura, please stop."

Kagura took her right hand, feeling a loose board above her, but it seemed to be latched into place. Upon further examination, she found a clunky lock at the side, which would open with the corrected key.

"I think it's a trap door, but it's locked," Kagura updated.

"Locked?" Shinpachi rubbed his chin "I wonder if there is a key hidden in the storage room back down? Or maybe we'll have to look elsewhere in the building, like an important office? Or perhaps-"

As Shinpachi rambled on about possibilities, he felt a big chunk of metal in the shape of a busted lock hit him on the top of his head.

"Kagura!" he yelped in anguish.

"Don't mess with the Yato Clan!" she boomed, flexing her muscles even though no one could see.

She then unlatched the trap door above, revealing a dim light overhead that was nearly blinding when compared to the dark prison they had been climbing in.

Swinging it open with her forearm, she stepped up higher on the ladder until the door was at a perfect 90 degrees, and then it fell open, hitting the floor to the side of the opening with a clatter.

Kagura could now see inside the room her and Shinpachi were climbing up to all that time. Sudden movement then caught her eye; there was a small futon in the corner of the room with a small figure laying on its side on top of it, and it jolted because of the sudden noise.

"Eep!" the small figure cried out, cowering in the shadows.

"Shinpachi! I think I found something!" Kagura nearly jumped out of the hole and paraded to the child sized human on the floor.
