like facing Hijikata True, their

Missing a full stop?

Fight scene fun! And such Shinsengumi fun~ I love how you're showing their ambivalent relationship with the Yorozuya; knowing their interests aren't always aligned, but respect there all the same. And oh, Hijikata actually calling out a warning to Okita~ ♥ And mentions of Saitou and Harada - I do so wonder what a Gintama-universe Saitou would be like ^^;.

"Yes," Gintoki said, "so lonely it'll be like dying, but no one ever dies just of loneliness, except in shoujo manga. And this is shounen, you know, shounen."

"But we want to stay with you, Gin-san."

"Do you really want us to go, Gin-chan?"

"No," Gintoki said. "No, never."

T_T Your dialogue is so very Gintama.

Oh Gintoki... The angst! And the ghosts in his mind. I love how they talk to him, obviously saying exactly what he himself is thinking. ;_; (and the shounen manga comment. Brilliantly Gintama!)

And I love how you show that the Shinsengumi really do care about Gintoki, again. They know him so well that they can see that something is wrong. And the little thing about Okita holding back his killing strike, and Gintoki knowing this, doesn't parry it - they know each other so well!

But then, Gintoki is out of his mind right now, and you had to end on a cliffhanger, didn't you? ^^
