"Is it too hard to understand? Since it's a fanfic, we can do things we're not allowed to do in the anime." Sougo glanced to Kagura and smirked.

A year has passed since the battles of the Final Arc. In this alternate universe, everything has ret...
The sun rose over the Kabuki district and washed the rooftops in glowing orange. The neon lights of the nightclubs had faded, but the crowds of the marketplace had not yet woken. For a brief sliver of time, the streets were silent.

Sougo stood on the roof of a rundown building with his hand resting on the hilt of the katana at his waist. His Shinsengumi uniform fluttered behind him, a black silk vest and jacket lined with gold trim.
In one year, the people of Edo had rebuilt their city from the ruins, every shiny skyscraper and every dirty alleyway. It was as it had always been, as if nothing had happened. But then again, everything always goes back to normal in Gintama.
Kagura pulled herself up the stairs, still dressed in her pink pajamas. Her hair, the color of candy apple, stuck up in places like a bird's nest. She stepped onto the roof and rubbed her eyes.
"What d'you want, sadist?" She squinted at Sougo's back. "You call me all the way out here, you better have something good to say, yes?"
"Do you remember?" said Sougo without turning around. "It was in this building that we pooped and barfed side by side in the Rokkaku Arc."

Kagura let out a long yawn, but Sougo continued. His voice sounded monotone as if his voice actor had forgotten how to act.
"Ever since that time— No, long before that. Ever since that day when we played rock paper scissors under the cherry blossoms, I've always... I've always..."
A gust of wind rattled the metal railings. His mouse brown hair became slightly messy in the breeze.
"I have never known another girl as strong and kind and beautiful." Sougo flipped through the pages of his script. "And this and that, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah..."
"Oi, why you being so OOC?" Kagura picked her nose with an annoyed look on her face. "You're just acting like that 'cause we're in a fanfic, yes?"
"No, that's not it."
Sougo spun around to face her with a smile as warm as the morning sun. His eyes gleamed without a hint of malice, as close to innocent as red eyes could be. He seemed almost childlike. It was hard to believe that the soul of a sadist could exist behind such an angelic face.
