Hey guys! Thank you for giving this a try! This is my very first fanfiction ever! It's a Gintama fiction even! Well I'm not too confidant in this one because it will be a bit messy, random, cliché, boring and other stuff so I apologize ahead!

So in this fiction, it will be a Shinpachi-centric as he is my favorite character among others! And of course in terms of pairing I pair him up with everyone, minus Yaoi, but especially KAGURA! SHINKAGU 4 LIFE!

Ahem, anyways, this story features a time-skip of sorts, it means this story starts after the events of the original story with my own stupid conclusion. I will make Shinpachi here much more stronger (hints as he played a very big role in the destruction of Tendoshu) as it will be part of the story. Before you ask, this is not a ShinKagu fic but rather a one-sided one, you'll understand soon.

although...I thought of Harem for some reason...oh well...

So anyway, I am really sorry if it sucks and is confusing!

I'll just start now. NOTE: I do not own Gintama, it belongs to the Gorilla and English is not my first Language.

Prologue

Timeline: 5 years after the end of Gintama

A lone man sighed as he sat atop the roof and gazed at the beautiful sunlight for the day. The man was a handsome young man with black hair reaching his shoulders and sharp yet soft brown eyes, wearing a black coat of some kind and held a modified Katana on his hip, and a wooden one next to it.

This handsome young man is none other than our beloved Patsuan, Shinpachi Shimura, who has in fact grown up after the years. The wooden sword was a sign of him surpassing the person he looks up to, Sakata Gintoki, in terms of swordsman years before he is now.

However, even though he finally caught up to the person he looked up, gained the handsome looks he always wanted and even became the strongest among others, there was only one thing he failed to catch.

Love.

"Shin-chan!" came in a female voice. Shinpachi sighed in a peaceful manner and hopped down from the roof as he said "Ane-ue, you called for me?"

Standing in front of him was none other than his sister, Shimura Tae, who also has grown a bit after the years. Her hair now reaches her waist although she ties it and puts it in front of her shoulder, longer bangs on her face and in fact-

"Otae-chan my love!"

"Kondo-san!"

Married.

Yes, Married.

Shinpachi cringed at her marriage as Otae's husband, Kondo Isao came into view wearing a formal outfit. "Nee, Otae-chan, how do I look now?" Kondo asked in a bashful manner earning giggles from Otae.

Despite the scar on his face, Kondo was still the same kind-hearted man he is, and after the fall of the Tendoshu, he got married to Otae on his return to Edo, all in of course they moved out of the Shimura house-hold.

Shinpachi just pushed his glasses and said "Erm...i'm here you know..."

"But of course my little brother!" Kondo said. "I know you're quiet the entire time because you're super excited for your second Niece or Nephew right?"

Shinpachi cringed again. It was the truth, Otae's belly was swelling up with her second child on the way, luckily Shinpachi did x-ray check several times if the baby was a Gorilla or human.

"Where's...Goriko..." Shinpachi said nervously. Goriko is in fact the first child of Otae, niece of Shinpachi. It was odd they decided to name her that but as long as Otae and Kondo are happy, Shinpachi is fine by it.

Kondo scratched his head and said "Goriko made a fuss to come today but instead..." as he finally showed he was carrying a person, in fact, it was Shinpachi's niece, Goriko. She took her face from Otae with the soft features and eyes, her hair was dark brown like Kondo's but was in a mix of wavy and spiky, long as it reached her waist. She also had long eyelashes.

But currently, she was sleeping peacefully at her Father's broad shoulders. Shinpachi smiled at her sleeping features as he said "She's an angel is she?"

"Just like me aru!" came in a fourth voice. Shinpachi smiled solemnly as he said "...Kagura-chan..."

"Patsuan! Anego and Gorilla! You came!" Kagura said happily. Kagura, who has in fact very much matured after five years. She grew her hair out and wore a white dress with designs similar to Gintoki's kimono. She had finally grown of her curves and got a bit taller, although Shinpachi is way beyond her height.

Kagura grinned and said "Quick! The ceremony is about to start!" as Otae, Kondo and Goriko got in the building. Shinpachi just looked at the back of Kagura as he said "...happy day for you huh?..." as he smiled solemnly. Shinpachi looked up at the building as it said-

"WEDDING DAY FOR KAGURA AND OKITA SOUGO"

Shinpachi entered the building where lot's of people were gathering. In a distance, he saw an old friend of Gin-san, Sakamoto Tatsuma, who apparently got married to his second in command, Mutsu. Despite being married, the two still has Kaientai under their control. They even had around six children! Well Shinpachi only met the first three, the other three we in her belly, yes, triplets. But only found recently and entering the third month so Mutsu's belly wasn't that big.

Tatsuma's first born son, Sakamoto Ryoma, was ALOT like his mother, serious, calm and collected but smart and cunning like his father. He looks like his father with curly brown hair but amber eyes like his mother, in fact, he has long eyelashes like his mother.

Sakamoto Matsu, first daughter but second child of Tatsuma and Mutsu. She is the opposite of her brother. She is an air-head klutz but very powerful. She has a dominant Yato blood so her strength are abnormal unlike her brother who has more human blood. She has wavy hair, a mixture of her mother and father's hair, but has blue-grey-ish eyes like her father, also has long eyelashes. She ties her hair into a side, left, pony-tail.

Sakamoto Mutsu, technical first daughter as she's the twin of Matsu, referred as 'Second' by her siblings to distinguish from her mother's name. She, like her twin, has more dominant Yato blood. She has curly hair which is also long, she looks exactly like her mother but only with right side pony-tail with curly hair.

Back to story, Shinpachi smiled politely as Mutsu looked at him and nodded a bit. Shinpachi carried on his walk to his sit where he saw another of Gintoki's former comrade, Katsura Kotaru. Despite being the idiot he still is, he in fact, got married to the girl of his dream,Ikumatsu and has two beautiful children.

The first and eldest one was a daughter, she took everything from her mother with the blonde hair and dark eyes but her personality...

"Daddy! There's a plant! Can I take it to plant it in the house?"

Was 100% Katsura. Ikumatsu, who is now a housewife, sighed and said "no dear, that's rude"

Their first born goes by the name Kaguya Kotaru.

Secondly was their son, whom Katsura decided to name Junior, so technically like his name. He was in fact opposite of his sister, taking fully on his father's appearance but his mother's smarts.

Shinpachi smiled at the small family and finally reached his sit when he heard "Shinpachi? Is that you?"

Shinpachi turned around and saw a tall, blonde woman with purple eyes and scars on her face talking to him. Shinpachi smiled and said "Tsukuyo-san!"

That's right, THE Tsukuyo. She has decided to grow her hair a little bit longer but still has her signature hair-style, she still wore her usual Kimono but this time covering both of her arms, and of course, not forgetting her trademark smoke-pipe.

Tsukuyo smiled and said "My it's been a while! Last time I saw you was..."

"Tsukuyo-san, that was only a week ago..."

"But still!" Tsukuyo said as she gave the young man a hug. Shinpachi and Tsukuyo formed a sort of Mother-Son relationship which pretty made someone jealous...

"Oi Patsuan, hand's of my woman!" came in a grumpy voice. Shinpachi laughed and said "Gin-san..."

Coming up to the two was none other than the famous Yorozuya, Sakata Gintoki. He didn't change much after the years, still remaining in the same kimono but he had stubble's now and sporting a brand new wooden sword as usual. Tsukuyo sighed and said "Gintoki, I'm not leaving you..."

"But still!" Gintoki complained. Tsukuyo rolled her eyes and whispered to Shinpachi "Before we start going out, he claimed he wouldn't possessive but look at him now..."

"I think it's the middle age crisis thing..." Shinpachi sweatdrop. A tick mark appeared on Gintoki's head as he said "What'cha said Patsuan?! Calling me old?! I'll have you know I still have some action going on! You may surpass me but that doesn't mean you have what it takes to beat me!"

"Gin-san...did you became captain obvious?" Shinpachi dead-panned. Gintoki frowned and said "Argh whatever! Point is she's mine!" as he hugged Tsukuyo. The latter sighed and said "fine fine..." as she patted Gin's head making him calm down.

Odd thing, Tsukuyo and Gin did not get married even after five years of dating. What's more amazing is that-

"Daddy daddy!" came in the voice of a cheerful girl. Shinpachi saw a flash of silver before he saw Gin being tackled onto the floor.

"Mizuki!" Gin said in a happy tone and carried his daughter. Like her father, she had curly silver hair which is currently tied into twin-tails and purple eyes like Tsukuyo which was thankfully not 'fishy' looking like Gin's but instead round like Tsukuyo's. Her face structure was also smooth like Tsukuyo.

Tsukuyo smiled and said "Did the little girl did it?"

"Yes! I learned to go pee-pee alone!"

Shinpachi sweatdrop and said "I don't think you should say that aloud..."

"Uncle Shinpachi!" the energetic girl actually jumped off Gin and onto Shinpachi who easily caught her and placed her on his shoulders. "Ahahaha!, you're always so tall!"

Shinpachi smiled as he lifted her off his shoulders and placed her on the ground and said "and you young lady, are getting heavier"

The girl giggled and pouted a bit before running off with the others. Shinpachi smiled at the sight of the children playing together and took his sit. It took a bit of while before everyone came together but after that, Shinpachi looked ahead and saw Kagura in a beautiful wedding dress.

He smiled solemnly which did not go by Tsukuyo and Gin earning sad looks. It was then her soon to be husband, Okita Sougo, came in. He actually had let his hair grown alot longer, tying it into a pony-tail.

Shinpachi than raised an eyebrow and said "Wait...what type of wedding is this?"

"Dunno...apparently Kagura found this...bible thing in the internet and decided to go by it" whispered Tsukuyo. "Oi! Isn't that a bad thing? Won't this get us in trouble or something?"

"It's cool, we've got her elder brother to protect her"

Shinpachi sets his gaze on Kagura's older brother, who was deemed best man, stood beside Okita with a...crying face.

"OH MY DEAR SISTER IS ALL GROWN UP! I'M SO HAPPY! ABUTO, PUNCH ME!" Kamui said in an exaggerated tone. Abuto, his loyal side-mate, sighed and said "not now, maybe later"

Kamui started bawling making Shinpachi sweatdrop. The ceremony and begin followed by the priest, who is actually Madao, or Hasegawa, saying the things whatever they said in those marriages.

Shinpachi looked sadly at the sight, he actually yearned to be in Okita's place but as long as Kagura's happy, he'll back away. Even though...it was him who saved everything.

"Those eyes of yours...they're showing sadness. Why, this is such a nice day isn't it?" came in a soft voice. Shinpachi turned his head to the person next to him and widened his eyes. Now sitting beside him was none other than Imai Nobume, formerly Vice Commander of the now disbanded Miwawarigumi and Ex-Assassin of the Yatagarasu.

After the years, Nobume has really turned into a fine woman, her hair is slightly longer than usual, her eyes seems more beautiful with the life in them and not to mention her curves which was there to begin with. She currently wears a dark blue kimono with beautiful linings around them but still carried her usual long and hidden-double blade katana.

"Nobume-san, rare to see you in this events..." Shinpachi said. She looked at him and said "It is an event of my friends, of course I would come"

Shinpachi smiled a bit before he felt a metallic object pressed on his head followed by a click. He turned around and met the cold eyes of Sasaki Isaburo. Yes, THE Sasaki Isaburo who was thought to be dead during the escape of the prison island.

Turns out, after the war, Nobume and the former members of the Shinsengumi decided to do a joint operation to retrieve his body for proper burial, only to find him stranded in an island full of monocle wearing people with long faces.

It was a funny day that was now that Shinpachi remembered.

Anyways, due to his injuries, Isaburo was rendered unable to walk and lies in a wheel chair but that doesn't mean he's disabled completely.

Isaburo, with his usual straight face, said "You know...only Sabu-chan is allowed to smile at his Daughter like that. No young man is going to do that"

Shinpachi sweated a bit as he attracted attention and said "Uuh...Isaburo-san...this isn't the best time..."

"You're right, I'm going to pull my hand out now in the count of three"

"Thank you..."

"One..."

*BAM*

"OOH?!" Shinpachi actually dodged a bullet meant for his brains with inhuman reflex and point-blank range. Of course, the bullet shot the person in front of Shinpachi which the body went limp instantly.

"Oi..." Gin said, who happened to be next to the guy who got shot, said "Is...is he...dead? or did he just...pass out?..."

"Oh a gun shot" Kagura said casually. "Carry on"

"That's not how wedding works!" Shinpachi fumed. Isaburo shrugged and said "Sorry. I missed"

"You missed? That was totally intentional!"

"I know. Want me to try again?"

"No-"

*BAM*

"OOOOIII! Stop shooting at such a fine day!"

Kagura grinned and said "My type of wedding aru!" as she eyed Madao. She actually punched him across the room making everyone gasp. After a short brief of silence, someone shouted "WEDDING FIGHT!"

"Oh...I never thought I left..." Shinpachi groaned as he left the now still rowdy building.

"I know" said Isaburo, who was pushed my Nobume in his wheel-chair. "What kind of idiot started this mess?"

Shinpachi twitched his eye and said "Err...I think it was-"

*CLICK*

Shinpachi saw Isaburo reloading his gun and said "Oh I meant was...that guy!" as he pointed at a random pedestrian.

*BAM*

"Good work Shinpachi, now he will never disturb wedding's ever again"

Shinpachi sweat dropped but said "Ah fine, I wanted to leave anyway..."

Nobume shot Shinpachi a suspicious look but shrugged and said "So...am I to assume you're going to the usual place...again?"

"Yeah, meet you there..."

"Hmm? What's this usual place you two are talking about?" Isaburo said as he loaded two guns this time. Nobume pushed Isaburo as she said "Nothing daddy, just a teen-hangout place"

"A TEEN-HANGOUT?!"

"Yes, now calm down or else I won't leave work early to make dinner"

"..."

Shinpachi saw them walking away and smiled solemnly again and sighed. "Gonna drink myself out for today..."

And so Shinpachi did as what he said on the line above. "Oi...what's with the random fourth wall joke?" Shinpachi retorted.

...

"Don't ignore me damn it! I'm talking to you!"

"Yes yes...I'm listening..." came in the soft voice of Nobume who stood in front of Shinpachi as a bartender. Yes that's right, Nobume has a part time job as a bartender and the bar she works on, Shinpachi serves as a frequent customer.

It was by chance he met Nobume years ago and since then, they became sort of friends...at least that's what Shinpachi think. He does know that Nobume only considers him as the 'That guy with glasses who is a friend of my friend' type of guy, which of course he's used to that kind of treatment.

Shinpachi took a shot of his drink as he said "Did you know...I was in charged of the letters that's suppose to be sent out for the wedding invitations?"

Nobume took notice of Shinpachi's tone. He was a bit drunk already, despite already at the legal age, he didn't handle alcohol very well...that or the other nineteen shots made his like this.

Nobume sighed and said "Is that so? Impressive..." in her usual tone. Shinpachi hiccuped a bit and said "But there was this one girl who failed to come you know?"

Nobume raised an eyebrow. She only knew Kagura's 'girlfriends' were Soyo and her so she was a bit confused. Settling the cup she was cleaning down, she said "Who?"

"I think he meant me" said a female voice. The two turned around and saw a woman in a purple cloak and a large hat to cover her face. Shinpachi raised an eyebrow and said "Hey! You're that...girl..."

"Aniki is drunk so he can't tell who is it~" said the girl in a sing-song voice. Nobume raised her eyebrow and said "Who might you be?"

"Well...I used to work for the Yorozuya but I left a bit to go with my father but I've been recently interested to come back after his death. My name is Doromizu Pirako, well I used to be known as-"

"Chin Pirako right?" Shinpachi said in a bit of a slur state. Pirako giggled and took of her robe and hat and revealed the face of Pirako. You could say the years has been nice to her, she grown her hair to her waist but kept her signature tied up hair on her fore-head, she now wore a more feminine kimono outfit which clung to her now visible curves. She smiled and said "It's been a while right, Seenpaai~" in a teasing tone.

Shinpachi just laughed and said "yeah..." as he rested his head on the table. Pirako took a sit next to Shinpachi as Nobume said "Doromizu...the Yakuza if I recall correct?"

"Ah yeah, after my father died, apparently his old connections made in contact with me to carry on the business, in which of course I accepted" Pirako replied. Nobume nodded in interest but took notice of a group of suspicious man on a nearby table.

Pirako grinned and said "Ah, security measures..."

Nobume merely nodded but noticed Shinpachi say "You know..."

"?"

"If I didn't love Kagura..."

"Oh? So Senpai actually liked Kagura-senpai? Hah!"

Nobume was expecting this kind of answer since from the wedding but said "What about it?"

"I think I would like you two..."

"Eh?" Pirako and Nobume went dumbfounded. Shinpachi continued in a drunk state "You guys...are really beautiful you know? You're sorta like my type of girls but man...I feel a douche saying that but it's the truth..."

"...ahahaha...ha..." Pirako laughed softly with a small blush as the small hair on her forehead wiggled a bit. "Senpai is just drunk!"

Nobume stared at Shinpachi a bit longer than she usually does, and then blinked. "Is that so..." she said in a curious tone.

And I guess that's the end of it folks! It was a nice ride XD

But I have a good feeling this will be a good story! Thank you for reading the first chapter of this really hard story!
