The Land of the Samurai ; 侍の国 (Gintama x Reader)

sHiSHteR Shinsengumi Shenanigans

Kabukicho surely had to have some sort of curse or something, right? Seriously, whenever you were not in town, nothing exciting would ever happen. However, the moment you stepped back into the district, some crazy things would start happening to you. Just last week, you could've sworn that there was a whole police chase right outside your neighbourhood. And yesterday, a whole ass bomb went off in the far distance of your home. What was up with this town?

It seems like you've forgotten about this curse though, since you were just casually strolling down one of the local streets. That was until a random stranger rammed their shoulder into your own, causing you to fall flat on your ass. "What the-?! Hey! You don't knock people out in the street!"

The stranger didn't even bother to look at your fallen figure and continued to run off. "Damn that stupid person! How are they even running in a kimono like that?!" you stood back up and dusted off your clothes, ignoring all the questionable looks from onlookers. As you were about the leave the scene, your foot had kicked a small looking box on the floor. "Huh? What is this?" You picked it up and shook it around with no mercy; there was no rattle inside the box-but instead, just a ticking noise.

"Vice-Chief! It's over there! The woman's shaking it around." When you turned to the accusing voice behind you, you noticed that these huge guys in full black SWAT gear were beginning to approach you. One man caught your eye though - someone who wasn't in gear, but in one of the Shinsengumi uniforms you've seen around.

"Um, do you guys need something?" The man approached you and held his lit cigarette in between his fingers while exhaling smoke from his mouth. Seems like he's got his priorities straight. Within a second, he stepped on the cigarette and pointed towards you.

Another person then swooped in and took the ticking box from your hands. While you were still confused as to what was happening, the man in front of you grabbed your wrists and put them behind your back; essentially detaining you. "You're under arrest in suspicion of interacting with a terrorist and for carrying a live bomb in the middle of a neighbourhood. You have the right-"

"Wait, wait, wait!" you wriggled around a bit trying to properly face the man. "I didn't do anything! Hey- Are you listening to me?!"

He just sighed and ensured that the handcuffs were locked, "We'll talk more at the station. Yamazaki! Get the car ready. We're gonna head out, ASAP!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Hey! I said list-"

。。。

Well, you should've known that the tax robbers were people who don't listen to other people. No matter how many times you had protested in the car ride here, the men would not let you go. Apparently, they don't did their jobs properly either. Who goes ahead and arrests someone without any proof or evidence?!

Thanks to their stupidity, you were stuck in a dingy cell that you were sure, was a nest of bacteria. You turned around to examine the place for a second time - there was a black substance covering majority of the floor; the toilet was practically green; and the bed was just a single piece of foam. What kind of modern Edo were you living in?

"Hello?" you called out to the other cells around, hoping to get some sort of help. "Is anyone there?"

"That voice... [name]!" a male had shouted your name from the cell that faced yours. You couldn't make out what he looked like, but for you to know a prisoner was unlike- Actually, it was quite likely. "Is that you?!"

"Uh... who are you again?"

"It's Katsura!" the said person came out of the shadows and reached out to grab the bars of the cell. "How could you forget me?! ...And what are you doing here anyway? You're not one to get into trouble like this."
