Anyways I won't delay any longer...here's the chapter 11...

Blink….blink. Tsukuyo slowly opened her eyes as she was greeted by the warmth of the sunshine that creeped through her bedroom window and a man's chest. "Wait, wha-?" She slowly then realized that the chest belongs to Gintoki and that they were in a cuddling position. On reflex, Tsukuyo shoved Gintoki roughly aside.

"O-oi! H-how d-did we end up in this p-position, huh?!" Tsukuyo shouted as she threw kunais aimlessly at Gintoki while blushing madly. Gintoki, who was still half-asleep, felt the pang and noise of reality through Tsukuyo's kunais and rants.

"Ittai! Why are you so noisy and violent early in the morning?!"

"It's already 10:30 in the morning, Gin-san." Seita appeared leaning in the shoji door smirking at the pair's scene. "Had a restful sleep, Tsukky-nee? Gin-san?"

"W-what?! NO! I wasn't cuddl-ermm I meant I did not have a restful sleep! Ya' know, because Kagura was sick n' all!" Tsukuyo explained diffidently while Gintoki just yawned.

"Oi, speaking of Kagura, where is that brat? Isn't she sick? And aren't you sick too?"

"Oh yeah your friends are here and they gave us the medicines to cure this strange flu outbreak." At the mention of 'your friends', Gintoki already stood up and rushed down stairs. "Tch, I have a bad feeling th-"

"You woke up late, Gintoki."

"Ahahaha! Kintoki is here!"

"It's G-I-N-T-O-K-I, Bakamoto! What are you idiots doing here?!"

"Sakamoto-san learned about the epidemic that was slowly spreading in Edo. He thought that this might be due to the amanto's stay here and imported medicines to cure this strange flu. Well I met him on my way here while talking to Katsura-san about the outbreak, told them all I knew, and brought them here." Shinpachi thoroughly explained.

"And don't forget that that is the very reason why Seita and Kagura-chan are up and about now!" Hinowa added.

"Puff…that is good, but we still need to find the cause behind this outbreak…"

"Ehem, as a matter of fact, I have a hunch that someone is behind this and that person is…." Katsura said as his face turned serious. "the lover of Yakult."

Silence…

"BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!" Everyone, except Gintoki, Katsura, and even Sakamoto, laughed. Even our ever so tsun-tsun Tsukuyo tried to stifle her laughter and act seriously like the trio, but to no avail.

"K-katsura-san that was a good joke!"

"Yeah that made me laugh Zura, uh-huh!"

"Oi Zura, that was JUST a joke right?"

"Zura ja nai Captain Katsura da! That is just my hunch for now, Gintoki."

"Ahahahaha! So it's him, eh…"

Silence continued among the trio and the others, especially Tsukuyo, noticed this. A mix of anger, pain, laughter, and sadness were in their faces and the others realized that what Katsura said was no joke to them…

"Ginto-ACHOO!" Everyone turned to look at the sneezing and red-faced Tsukuyo. "Why am I ke-HACHOO! I can't sto-HACHOO!"

"T-tsukky, you didn't get the sickness ttoo, r-right?" Hinowa asked worriedly.

"Hinowa, why would I get si-ACHOO!"

"I think Santa Claus lost his reindeer again." Gintoki said as he pointed to the red-nosed Tsukuyo.

"SHADA-ACHOO!" Tsukuyo tried to throw a barrage of kunais on Gintoki again, but failed due to her sneeze once more.

"Oh…you missed."

"Tch."

"Ehem." Everyone turned to look at Katsura as he called everyone's attention. "Soo…shall we start investigating the cause of this outbreak? And start curing the people's sickness too, of course."

"Well we should start investigating where it all started, here in Yoshiwara." Hinowa implied.

"And we will also need to divide our group into 3 teams. One team shall investigate the source of this outbreak, the second shall give out the medicines to the people, and the third shall inform us how the flu spread above." Tsukuyo added.

"Gin-chan, I need to check Sadaharu in Anego's house and buy more sukonbu-aru."

"Sakamoto and I will be the ones distributing the medicines to the residents since we already have the medicines and since boss is going to Kabukichou, let Shinpachi-kun and boss be the one to inform us on how the flu spread above"

"So this just leaves us to…" at Hinowa's statement, everyone stared at the 'tsundere couple'.

"So therefore, Gintoki and Tsukuyo-dono will be the ones investigating the source of the outbreak. Everybody who agrees say 'Aye!' "

"Aye!" Everyone, except the two-said people, replied in unison.

"WHAT?!" the two reacted in unison while glaring at each other.

"I shall never team-up with this lazy-ass/terminator!"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

"STOP COPYING WHAT I SAY!"

"GAH!"

The two continued to blabber and throw insults in unison as they went on with their brawl; Tsukuyo was doing all the offense by throwing kunais at Gintoki, which resulted in everyone backing out in the corners, and Gintoki was doing all the dodging and teasing.

"Gin-san! Tsukuo-nee! Will you two please stop fighting?! Every minute is precious and it should not be wasted when you know that the outbreak is getting worse!" Seita screamed

At this the two stopped arguing, ashamed at the reality of the little boy's words.

"Tch fine."

"But I'm doing this for the people of Yoshiwara."

"Better pay me extra Hinowa."

"The sooner we start the—AchOo-better." Tsukuyo stated not minding the sneeze in between her sentence.

"Che, oi Zura, give this woman one of those medicines you have. Those sneezes might get in the way when we work."

"I'm not a woman!"

"Zura ja nai, Captain Katsura da! Here you go Tsukuyo-dono."

"Thanks, but I'm fine."

"Oi drink it now if you don't want those sneezes to get in the way of our investigation!"

"I said I'm FI—AchOO!"

"Ha? 'Fiachoo'? are you trying to say that you are P*kachu?"

"I said I'm HAchOO fine, so I don't need to take the medicine!"

Twitching his forehead in irritation as Tsukuyo continued to refuse the medicine, Gintoki finally blew up and shouted. "STOP ACTING LIKE A KID AND DRINK IT NOW!"

Shocked at Gintoki, Tsukuyo immediately took the medicine and drank it quickly. "D-done" she weakly replied.

"Now let's go and finish this investigation because I don't want to miss Ketsuno Ana's appearance in the news later. Ah~ Ketsuno Ana~"

WHACK! Tsukuo punched Gintoki for daydreaming about his 'crush' and dragged him towards the door. "Stop daydreaming about your crush and let's start it now as you said!" At this, they started bickering at each other once more as they exited the room.

Hinowa and Kagura, who were watching the whole scene with the others, finally exploded into giggle at once when the two left.

"Tsukky sounded jealous when Gin-san mentioned his crush." Hinowa giggled "Thank you for helping us Katsura-san, Sakamoto-san."

"Ahahahaha! No problem at all! Ahahaha!"

"You're welcome Hinowa-dono. I myself enjoyed the scene."

'Well, Zura, thanks for lightening my load-aru!"

" Zura ja nai, Katsura da! No problem, boss!"

"Oh wait I forgot to tell Gin-san and Tsukuyo-san something regarding the medicine!"

"Spit it out then, megane."

Ignoring what he was just called he continued, "We forgot to tell them that there is alchol content on the medicine.

At that statement, Hinowa, Seita, Kagura, and Shinpachi's sweat dropped.

"Rest in peace, Gin-chan aru"
