Gintama : Lost bonds

Prolouge

This chappie is written in the Third Person's P.O.V. 

Bodies lay waste all over the abandoned battlefield. Leaving families without, husbands, brothers’ sons, etc. Among these bodies are 7 year old twins, searching for food off the dead bodies, just like the crows around them.

"Onii-chan!!!! Lookie, I found some rice balls," the girl say waving over to her brother, feeling slightly exhausted.

"Good job Lulu but you should be resting, you know you’re not in any condition to be moving around," the young boy says sternly, taking the rice ball out of her hands and leading her to a boulder to rest.

The pair have been orphans for as long as they can remember, depending only on each other to survive. Luna has been getting sick a lot these days, which has been worrying her brother.

Letting her lay back on a huge stone, the boy gives his sick twin the rice balls, picks up his katana that he placed there a while back and stands up looking around for something else to eat. Before he could move he felt the small hands of his sister tug his kimono.

"I can't eat it all by myself," she says with a pout.

"You have too; you need to keep your strength up. I'll find something over there,"

"But-"

"No buts," he says as he ruffles her short curly hair that's identical to his, making her pout again.

He chuckles at her before walking off, katana in hand, in search of some more food to ease his hunger for the time being. She stares at her brother for a while before stashing one of the rice balls in her little sack that she found a while back. Her brother thinks that she collect trinkets off the bodies they come across in the battlefields when in fact she has been saving half her food in there in case they hadn't found any for that day. She would then 'appear' to have found some food. Gin would throw a fit if he found out she wasn't eating her full share like he told her too but she worries about his heath too. He would sometimes give up his share when they haven't found enough for the both of them and she didn't like that she was eating when he was starving. They would argue about it until eventually she would make him eat half.

Sighing at the memory, the girl takes a bite of the slightly stale rice ball. She was used to the taste but still made a face while eating it. 

Meanwhile the boy, who was already on his third rice ball munching like there is no tomorrow. Suddenly a hand appeared on his head knocking the rice ball out of his hand..Gin slowly looks up at the person whose hand is on his head. The man had long brownish-grey hair and eyes and a kind smile. He was wearing a grey robe and haori and sporting a katana on his waist. Gin, who was stunned at the man's sudden appearance, was frozen on the spot.

"I heard the rumours about corpse eating demon, so I came to check it out myself. I never expected to see such a cute looking demon." the man chuckled with his hand still on the boy's head.

Gin, who felt offended by this, slapped his hand away and jumped back the draw his blood stained, slightly rusted sword to not only protect himself but his sister.

"Did you take that off a corpse," the man asked, not drawing his sword. The boy didn't answer. Instead he licked the remaining rice grains off his face and steadied the sword in front of him, not taking his eyes off the man for one second.

The man tilted his head at the boy's action. "A single child stripping corpse to protect himself huh?" the man thinks’ aloud.

Gin unconsciously looks back at Luna hoping that she hasn't noticed what's going on. The man, who sees this looks at where the boy's eyes trail leads to but all he sees is a pile of dead bodies. Tilting his head in confusion he stares at the boy.

The boy looks back at the man and sees that he's smiling at him. The man simply says "This is very impressive. However you no longer need that sword."  To which the boy glares.

"A sword that's only swung in self defence, while fearing others should be thrown away," the man states calmly. He then throws his sheathed katana at the boy who stumbles a bit but catches it. The boy looks down at the sword, then back at the man in confusion. "I shall give you my sword and if you wish to learn how to properly use it then follow me," the man says before walking away.

The boy looks at the man receding figure for awhile before running over to his twin with a new determination. He carefully places his sleeping sister on his back and with the sheathed katana in hand goes after the man........
