Hello, hello! Witchyskies here.
I can't believe it's been, like, years. Dear god. Life kicked my ass for a while now, and I got K.O.'d and it took me a while to get back up. So I'm sorry, but here I am now. *Gives speech to empty theater chairs*
Now I'm sure Justin Bieber has been waiting for my update, so here it is. I'm just happy I can see my fav characters again in my head, dancing to my whims. *Chuckles behind clasped hands as a tiger yawns lazily by my feet*
On that note, Happy 2018!
P.S. Totes don't remember if I said I'd edit the earlier chaps, but since I have to make priority time choices (?), I'll do that after I fin the story. It's not a 1000+ chap on the level of 9000 writing magic, but there ya go.
P.S.S. I just checked. My original docs are now gone. T.T Editing might be distant…But I'll finish these stories.
P.S.S.S. Reading my earlier writing note from when I worked at a theater box office. I underestimated box offices. And stuff. So…*Bows down in dogeza* I reflect!

The Elf Queen frowned down at the group of misfits that were to lead their nations into the great Universal War. They were the last hope for Earth to survive this neverending chain of blood…and currently half of them were beaten to the ground by a woman with a bat. Not exactly promising creatures, were they?
Gin stumbled to his feet and croaked out, "So, as you were saying about the prophecy?" He didn't comment on her words about Tsuki. He just met the girl, but he could tell she was a good girl. But years of dealing with politicians and irrational hate between entire countries nevermind family members taught him stuff. Nothing he could say would change things right now. And they needed to focus on the task at hand. That and getting the evil mother, in his unbiased opinion, back to her stingy elf purgatory would be good.
Frankly, he still didn't get how the hero of Great Wars Elf Queen Seraphim ended up hooking up with that Demon King playboy in the first place. Not that it mattered. Even he heard rumors about the great hero's relationship with her half-demon daughter. Elves. What could he say?
Seraphim hmph'd and raised her nose. Her words fell from her lips like a trinkle of bells and her glistening white hair flowed softly around her like a real elven beauty. It was too bad about the inside, though. "My daughter is the Witch of the Moon. She may be dirty, but at least her role is important in this world so I can forgive her. The other two are hidden among the school, watching to see whose side to join in this war. We cannot let them fall for the enemy. Being as they are equally powerful, and much more than most planets' military power, we can only seek to persuade them. Unfortunately, force is not an effective method in this case." She said that like it was a pity. The hero was also known for her cruel side towards enemies. "I only came here to relay this. My people are guiding earth's path as the Three Conrus Planets alliance are seeking to invade, but that is under control. I take it Dragus is doing well?"
Kondo went into work mode as he straightened his back - ignoring the giant bumps on his head. "Yes. A couple of minor hiccups, but the underground fighters got it handled. We found the tails had a certain poison that could be used against the Trefks, so we have new weapon ideas that would turn the tide on that end."
"Perfect. Katsura, I trust you have that handled?"
"My group already have ten factories producing them." Katsura smiled with a strain. He never liked the woman, but like working with the shinsegumi, he had to bite his tongue. Even he knew that if the enemy planets won, earth would cease to exist. Period. Unlike working with the shinsegumi, however, this elf queen was pure evil and not even a tiny bit funny.
"Good." She then recited the prophecy as her form started to fade. "I shall only say this once. Memorize it well, humans. Djinn." She nodded to the principle with a real smile and he nodded back. Seraphim was just like the old school elves - hated humans with a passion, but not many else. So much for being called a peaceful race.
"To Decide the Lives of Billions,
To Prevent the Extinction of Humans and Elves,
Seek the Three.
The Witch of the Moon, the Prince of Dragons and the Holy Son of the Heavens.
At the Crossroads of clashing worlds,
They are the Last Light of Hope.
Failure to cooperate will lead to Death of Worlds."
As the Elf Queen spoke the prophecy, a soft white light surrounded her and she began to disappear. Her voice faded as she said one last thing, "So said the Prophetess of our Holy Temple. I have surprise business so inform Tsuki that if she fails, don't bother coming back to earth. The elves will kill her before the enemy does. May fortune be with you, Humans."
She disappeared in a final burst of light and a pleasent flowery smell filled the spaceship's metal room. The people inside only glared and their noses sniffed in disgust.
Otae screamed, "That patronizing, racist evil little bi - !" (Kagura: Go, go! Cuss her out!)
Shinpachi hurried to calm her down as he held her shoulders. "W-Wait, Otae-nee-chan! We all hate her, but she's needed for the war! And the uninformed public still view her as a goddess of light and goodness, so we can't beat her up!"
"Ahhhh! This isn't right!" She screamed in rage before finally taking deep breaths. "You're right. I know you are. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth." Then she turned toward the wall and punched it with all her strength.
BOOM.
The wall completely dented in and a fissure formed as it exploded to the other side. The yato training with Kagura coupled with a scientist's 'enhancements' went a little too well.
The djinn principle coughed.
"What? It was already dented before we came in here."
"It's coming out of your pay."
Otae gasped in indignation as Gintama also had to help hold her down with a sorry smile. "Hey! You should charge that evil fake queen! You saw how she talked about her daughter! The one whose supposed to help save the damn universe! And I'm helping you re-model!"
"The queen helped save my people, but I see where your rage comes from. However, the funds for this ship are running out due to the security measures even with the group of warmongering students paying to come here to take part in the 'final battle' that was prophesized over T.V.! The gambling ring won't cover all the maintenance fees, you know!"
Shinpachi tsukommi'd, "Hey, should a principle really admit that he's running an underground gambling ring over the Prophecy of the End of Our World whose contents could dictate whether 5,347 planets in 3 galaxies and in around 2-3 universes live or die?"
Otae screamed over him as Gintama also took advantage and placed his arms around her waist while she scolded the djinn principle. "And besides! That prophecy is famous! Did that old hag really have to come here and repeat it to us? What. Does she think we're monkeys who can't comprehend a single poem?! She doesn't pay me!"
"We can only get to know the students and find the remaining two in the prophecy! Just forgive her blunt manner, please. She is managing the current war affairs while we prepare here for the Universal War turning point."
"Please! You're just collecting bets for your harem! I saw the papers!"
"How did you know that!? And that's not the focus, it's just on the side. I make sure to do my job - "
They continued arguing while the others began to leave the room. Katsura muttered, "This is why I hate governments."
Meanwhile, Kamui and Tsuki happened to be just outside the door opposite where everyone else left. Tsuki just wanted to catch up when she felt her mother's presence on the ship, but she stopped just outside the doors and that's when Kamui stood by her after running around in embarrassment. It only took a second before he realized something serious happened and then the elf queen spoke.
It didn't take long before a dark arura hovered in the air. Kamui had his fist clenched while Tsuki's shoulders trembled.
In rage.
A dark gleam entered their eyes and once more they realized how much they had in common. Even after that embarrassing confession earlier.
Kamui smiled lazily as he swung his arm around her, his voice light despite his intense glower. "Say…I know a good dating spot after we get this war prophecy settled."
"Oh?" She smiled back just as evilly. "Don't disappoint me now."
"Shall we get to know your mother's palace after? I heard the elf queen had a bunch of butt-kissing slaves to mess with. Could be fun to show respects then."
"I agree. I think you mean the Council. We must show our respects, Kamui. They are our elders. I think a bunch of dwarves and demons would love to visit…"
They chuckled and even though earlier an intent to kill filled them, just one dark joke calmed the air a bit.
Tsuki bowed her head. "Thank you. Without you here, I fear I would have…"
"It happens."
She dusted her skirt. "I believe class should start tomorrow. Officially. It's been put back due to … events. Shall we?"
"As long as you agree to that date. I'd love to wreck some havoc. I mean, give your parents a nice little reunion."
"Agreed." Tsuki smiled up at him brilliantly and Kamui's face reddened when…
"HOLY SON!" Kagura ran down the hallway in panic. Okita dragged across the floor.
"Eh?! What's wrong!" The pair looked at her in confusion.
"Ho-Holy Son of Heaven is….is….!"
"What?"
"In love with Okita! He almost had him, too!" She cried a bit. "And he's prettier!"
…
"WHAT!"
Meanwhile, Gintama, who happened to be lurking in the closet where he stored the chocolates he stole in the cafetaria earlier, shook his head. Was this alright? Was this really alright? The fate of the universe lied in the hands of a love triangle, a dysfunctional family and who knows what is going on with the Prince of Dragons.
The fates weren't playing with them, right? Or the elf prophet?
"See. This is why I believe destiny is full of shit. But all signs of the war point to this place as the final battle destination. Let's just hope we even make it to another day. Young people these days, I swear."

Sooooooo….
Yeah.
This is a rom-com/war fic that suddenly makes as much sense as me in a law class (nope. Not happening).
But it's fun. Hope you have a great new year's ahead and lots of binge-watching. That's my plan.
Ciao!
