Love For A Samurai [Gintama: Gintoki x Reader]

Deal With The Devil

Taro still was limp and seemingly unresponsive as he was dangled in the wretched Masashi's arms.

Gintoki stood as firmly as he could, tip of his blade in the direction of the kidnapper, all while trying to hide the shake in his legs that were still weak from the poisonous dart he was struck with hours earlier.

"You are strong, I see," Masashi feigned being impressed by this, for he saw Gintoki as no threat, especially due to the fact that Taro, the hostage, was in his arms.

You eyed Masashi and saw him slowly move his left arm to Taro's neck. Your heart tightened once you realized the escalating situation before you "Gin, stop! Put down your sword!"

Thrown off guard, Gin darted his eyes at you quizzically, for he was expecting a more supportive reaction from you. He too then looked Masashi's way and notice a blink of silver shine from his left sleeve.

Masashi held a small blade right to Taro's neck that had been securely hidden under his cuff "I wouldn't try anything if I were you".

"Gin, please," you pleaded "Don't fight him".

Gin held his breath while looking into your sad, sincere eyes. Ultimately, he closed his eyes and let out a sigh, sheathing his blade back at his hip.

"That's better," Masashi grinned wickedly.

"But Y/N," Gin piped up "I don't believe he'd hurt Taro; he needs him alive if he wants to get to you. Think about it".

You knew Gin's words to be true, and you'd be lying if you had said that that was not hanging in your mind this whole time. But still, even the smallest sliver of doubt held you back from making any sort of move, in fear of Taro getting hurt, or worse.

"True words from a samurai- Gin, was it?" Masashi taunted "You're right, I would never hurt the boy, but that doesn't mean I don't have any hostages that I wouldn't consider harming in some way".

With a snap of his pale fingers, Masashi activated a giant monitor on the back wall behind him, revealing live video feed of Shinpachi and Kagura in an iron cage surrounded by suited men with rifles aimed right at them. Shinpachi was laying on the cage floor, sobbing, and Kagura was frantically trying to pry the bars apart with her hands, legs, and teeth, but it was to no avail.

"Wow," Gin's face was fuming red with rage "how small does your dick have to be to be this desperate for one woman?"

"Gin!" you shout at him through gritted teeth to stop. You sigh, facing the monster before you "I accept your proposal".

"Really...?" a small, sinister grin grows on Masashi's face.

"Y/N, no!" Gin begged.

"But-" you interject, holding a patient finger up in Masashi's vision "only if Taro, Gin, and my two friends you've captured are set free".

You could see Masashi licking his teeth with a slightly parted mouth as he hesitantly pondered our deal, and right before he spoke he clicked his tongue in slight irritation and nodded "Can do".

"Alive," you conclude.

His eye twitched, indicating that his patients with the negotiations was being tried "Fine. The four of them will be released, and are never allowed to come back".

"It's a deal," you agree.

"Y/N, what are you doing? You're going to become his prisoner! You can't do that!" Gin felt his heart being torn in half.

"Someone, take the boy and hand him off to his father, and someone else bring my princess to me," upon Masashi's instruction, a few more suited men came out of the darkness at the sides of the room and did just those things.

Soon, the comatosed Taro was put into Gintoki's arms, but he can only barely hold his weight, while you were handed off to your new fiancé. Masashi then leaned over to a guard— to what you assume— instructed him to let Shinpachi and Kagura go.

The wicked man then pulled you over to him and held you arm in arm, preparing to turn and leave that gaudy room "And if anyone dares to try coming back to take my princess away from me, I will not hesitate to torture you".

"Sounds like just being with you is torture," Gin remarks under his breath as he sees you and Masashi disappear out of his sight.

Blindfolded, you felt yourself being passed from man to man through, what felt like, the whole building, until your vision was gifted back to you inside of this tacky, pink room. The whole area reminded you of a doll house, down to the white finished furniture and the decorative doilies on every surface. You were forcefully pushed into said room, losing your balance and abruptly falling forward, your hands saving you from landing on your face.

You turned your head back to the guard, anger in your eyes "Hey, wait a minute-"

"Masashi wishes for you to wait here while he prepares, my lady," he interrupted in a deadpanned voice.

"Prepare? Now? I need to speak with him!" you rose to your feet, remaining eye contact.

"While you wait, he also wants you to put this on, and he hopes it's still your size," the guard revealed a pink and white maid uniform on a hanger from behind his back and threw it to you.

You awkwardly caught the bundle of fabric lazily tossed your way, but it covers your head in the process. You scramble to get it off you, and when you do, you hear the door click shut.

"Wait!" you cry out, charging to the door to frantically twist the knob.

It was hopeless, the door was locked tight. You couldn't help but put your head against the wood grain, feeling the exhaustion kick in. You brought your fists up to the door as well right before sliding downward, and sitting helplessly on the wooden floor. As you sat leaning on the door, tears begun to stream down your face, and you also started to openly weep.

I never even got to hold Taro before I was taken away.
