Niko throws the plastic bag in her hand towards the natural perm haired. He catches it with his hand and opens it " what's with the good mood ? " He sees gyoza inside.

Niko : nothing. Just... Remembered I need to say arigatou.

Gintoki: for what ?

Niko : for staying. I won't blame you if you wanna go now.

Niko ; gin gin. You're leaving tomorrow?

Gintoki : um. Why ? I've paid off my debt.

Niko : nothing...

Gintoki : but I'm staying.

Niko ; huh ? Why ? They all leave.

Gintoki placed his hand on her head " cos little girls cry when their favourite adult goes away. " Her eyes water and looked to him " don't be an idiot !!! Everyone wants to leave. Just go !!! I'll be... Ok. "

Gintoki strokes her hair " it's not like I have anything to look forward to. What's so good about going ? "

Niko : so... It's ok. Really... Ok this time.

Gintoki turns away from her " you made me stay, now take responsibility. At least increase my salary so I can play pachinko. " And he leaves

Niko : shiro baka !

Gintoki: shiro yasha da, little girl.

" Hijikata Toshiro. Previously known as onii fukuchou. Now, taichou. "

Toshiro looks to the person " who are you? "

" How does it feel ? To kind of upgrade."

Hijikata: I said, who are you.

" Me ? They call me Damso. "

Hijikata: you seem like you have business with me. But I don't have time for you. Goodbye.

He starts to walk away when she starts to mention a name " Kondo Isao." He turns back around, standing where he was " why do you know that name ? "

Damso ; I just do.

Hijikata: only judges know about shinigami contracts. I never told anyone about my contract , only my taichou.

Damso : oops. Do you think she betrayed you ? ~

Hijikata pulls out his sword " you are going to tell me. "

Damso ; eh ... Not fun. You don't suspect her.

Hijikata: Niko may a bit sick sometimes, but she's just having fun. Can't blame a little girl who doesn't know the extent of fun to people. But she doesn't hurt people.

Damso ; I will tell you alright, so that you'll believe me.

Hijikata: why would I need to believe you ?

Damso : I ... * Pretends to whisper* can read people's previous lives.

Hijikata ; only a shinigami can do that. You're not a shinigami. You don't have the smell of death.

Damso ; used to be. But a certain nice guy helped me to cut the contract one sidedly.

Hijikata: that's not possible !!!

Damso ; here I am.

Hijikata: you want to offer me the same thing ? I'm not interested.

Damso ; I know you don't care for that. He says you only care for that little girl, first shinigami. Afraid she's lonely. He also said, he never thought she would find a husband.

Hijikata: who's he ?

Damso ; anyways. I took a look at the reincarnation of your Kondo Isao. He's dying soon.

Hijikata: that's not your business.

Damso : of course, we can't keep him from dying. We need him to die . So that we can help you reverse it.

Hijikata: reverse it ?

Damso ; bring back your kondo-san. Stuff him back to an appropriate body and... Tada ! Kondo-san is back.

Hijikata: that's not possible !! Even if you manage to bring kondo-san back, he doesn't even have memories.

Damso ; yes. All souls must drink the Forgetful Drink before they reincarnate. To forget all their memories, to create new ones in their new lives. Did you truly believed that ?

Hijikata: what are you saying ?

Damso : it's not something that makes you forgot. It's just an extremely strong blocker that blocks you from your previous life's memories. Why do you think hypnosis can make people kind of see their past lives ?

Hijikata: you !!! What do you want from me?!!

Damso: to kill someone for me. When the time comes anyway. Want to join us ?

Hijikata: you still haven't told me, how you knew, I know kondo-san!

Damso: why don't you join me ? I'll tell you then. Bye ~

Just then , hijikata's teammate walked over " hijikata-san. Who's that ? A human who can see us ? "

Hijikata: someone annoying. Not human. Not sure what she is . What is it ? Yamamoto.

Yamamoto: oh. Nothing much. Just that there's this demon that doesn't want to leave from its spot on the bridge. He doesn't seem bad either, like he has a reason. I don't want to just cut him down. But he doesn't want to tell me the reason either. But I need to get over the bridge.

Hijikata : then call Nurarihyon. He has this place that keeps all the demons. Maybe he'll kill that demon cos it's annoying. I don't know. *Lights up cigratte with mayo lighter * tsk. Just give the problem to someone else. I'm not in the mood.

Yamamoto: I got it.

Hijikata: ah ... ! Wait. I'll go. Stupid... Making problems for me.

Yamamoto: gomen.

Hijikata: it's not you.
