Author's Note

The full title of this is In the End Family Is Always Family (Especially When There Are Colorful Words Involved.) This is my first fanfiction. I hope people like it. I do not own Gintama. Hideaki Sorachi does.

It was just another normal day at the Yoruzuya. Kagura was chewing on sukonbu while watching Ladies 4. Gintoki was reading an old jump while trying to stop Sadaharu from biting his head. Shinpachi was yelling at the two being the straight man-idol otaku-megane character he was. "Megane, I ran out of sukonbu. Go get me some." Kagura said. "Go get it yourself!" Shinpachi yelled. "Gin-cha-" Kagura whined but then got interrupted by Gintoki. "Get me some strawberry milk while you're out."

She tried to think of some excuses to get them to go out for her but none came to mind. "Fine" She said taking the money from Gintoki and heading out the door with her umbrella over her head. The sky was almost dark grey but had a sliver of the sun still shining down on earth. She looked up at the sky, happy that she got to see a little bit of the sun. She walked for a little while admiring the sky without her umbrella over her. As she passed the park where she often played with Sadaharu or fought with the Sadist A.K.A Okita Sougo, the clouds hid the sun she loved. Soon after it started raining. Painful memories of her old home rushed into her mind.

It was a rainy day. It was more wet and the raindrops fell from the sky faster. Kagura's mother was very sick and didn't have very much time left to live. Kagura could hear her Mami's voice and her older brother, Kamui's voice. Although she could hear them, what they were saying was blocked by the door in front of her. Kamui stormed out of the room with an angry face. "Onii-chan." the young Kagura said but he kept walking and did not even look her way.

"Mami" Kagura said rushing to her mom who was crying loudly. Her mother started to cough up blood. "Mami, are you alright?" Kagura didn't know what to do as her mother died before her eyes. "Kagura, bring Kamui back." Kagura had tears in her eyes as she rushed out of the hose to get her brother. He was walking down those steps a couple feet away. "Onii-chan!' she shouted. "Onii-chan, come back." he turned around to look at her. "I have no use for weaklings." He continued walking leaving his family behind. "But Mami's dead!' she screamed. "She's dead." she cried as her voice became quiet.

Kagura continued to the convenience store. She walked in so lost in her own thought that she didn't hear the clerk at the cash register say "Irasshaimase!". 'I wonder if he didn't hear me say she's dead or he just didn't care.' she thought oblivious to the person outside the store. She bought her sukonbu and a strawberry milk. Kagura walked slowly back to the Yoruzuya. She stopped at the park and sat on the swing. Swinging back and forth slowly with her eyes closed, she felt that there was now someone in front of her. "What do you want?" she asked not caring who the person was.

"To say i'm sorry." a male voice said. She grabbed her umbrella, quickly swinging it forward at the orange haired man. "You're many years too late, Kamui." she yelled attacking him swiftly. "I know what your motives are!" He looked as if he was having trouble keeping up. "I see you have been training." Her eyes widened as she saw a large injury in his leg and he was covered in blood. "What happened?" she said, trying to hide the worry laced in her voice. "Takasugi finally betrayed me."

She knew why he was there. He didn't have any place left to go and she was the final option. "Fine. I'll help you." She tried to help him up and started walking. "Kagura-chan, where were you?" Shinpachi asked and then noticed her brother that she was dragging over her shoulder. "Konbanwa, Samurai-san." said Kamui to Gintoki, as Kagura half threw half placed Kamui on the couch. "Here's your strawberry milk." Kagura said handing it to Gintoki.

Kagura helped patch Kamui up. Every day they started talking more. "It's like as Kamui heals, so does their relationship." Gintoki said to Shinpachi as they watched the blue-eyed siblings eat. "I really am sorry." Kamui said to his sister. "Do you really mean it? Are you lying?" "I'm not." he said with a genuine smile. "Good" Kagura said smiling as well. "If you are I'll *beep* your *beep* and your *beep* in *beep*." She said with a large smile. A shiver ran down the backs of the three men in the room.
