Gintoki In Wonderland
Chapter 2/5
Meanwhile, Gintoki, who was already back to his normal size, was still feeling wobbly and nauseous after that fall. He looked around and found himself in a forest. He tried to look for some water and luckily found a stream. He was about to scoop some water with his hands when he saw his reflection. He was not wearing his favorite yukata but instead, he was dressed like weird a Snow White. Except that it wasn’t in a long dress, but in a blue shirt with a red and white stripe puffed short sleeves, styled with golden ribbon that connects the long black sleeve just above the elbow. His light-yellow leggings are tucked inside his brown boots. Not to mention, he has a red cape and a red ribbon headband.  
Furious at his odd get up, he started shouting. “Hey! You must be joking! Why am I wearing this ridiculous outfit?! Bring back my yukata!!”
“Don’t you dare ripped the clothes apart, if you don’t want to die!” warned the caterpillar through a voice in the sky.
He clicked his tongue and ripped a piece of the cape and he started feeling sick again. Ugh. That stupid Madao caterpillar is telling the truth? I guess, I have no choice huh. Gintoki thought to himself, dejected, he started not to mind his outfit. But little did he know, his sickness was not because of the outfit but because he has not eaten anything yet. It was only a coincidence that when he tore a part of the cape that he felt sick. There was no way that the clothes on him have a curse that he will die once it was taken off. Walking around the forest half naked, that’s a big no-no, he might really die (of pneumonia).  And might as well take the chance to imagine Gintoki in a different outfit, right?
Anyways, let’s go back to Gintoki. He was still walking around the forest to find a shelter as it was getting already getting dark. He was almost at the point of singing that Doreamon song when he heard the same voice in the sky.
“Gintoki, I’m sure you’re still confused as to why you are here, right? We called you since we need your help to defeat the monster called Jabberwocky.”
“Huh?! Why would I even fight a monster in this unknown, eerie world? Plus, if you wanted to me to fight, where is the payment? The world revolves in mo—” Gintoki was cut off by a sudden rustle he heard behind him.
Scared to look back, he slowly moves towards a broken tree branch, to use it as a bokuto, a wooden sword.
“My, my, what a lovely Snow White we have here?” a cheerful, familiar voice broke his anxiousness.
He followed the voice and found it above him. Sitting on a tree branch while swinging its feet, the Puss in Boots, was smiling at him.
“You?! Kamui?!” Gintoki gaped and immediately collected himself to a fighting stance.
“Now, now, do I really looked like that Kamui you mentioned?” the cat smiled again. “I’m not here for a fight. I’ll tell you how to get out of here.”
Tsk. That smile again. This guy is really, not that stupid big brother?  Gintoki thought.
As if the cat was reading his mind, it told him. “The guy you mention is different from me. Well, if given the chance I might want to meet him.” The cat grinned like a Cheshire cat. “Anyways, in order for you to return back to your world, look for two small silver balls with these characters.” The cat gave him a linen like paper with a sketch of the balls mentioned. Upon seeing it, Gintoki laughed. It was a picture of pachinko balls with the characters of: 銀(Gin) and 魂(Tama)
“We knew that you would find these amusing. Being the main character of that series, seeing these familiar things might interest you a bit, don’t you?” the cat beamed.
“Seeing all sorts of the same stupid faces, really does fascinate me.” Gintoki replied, rolling the paper, and stuffing it in his boots.
“That’s good to hear then.” The cat continued blissfully. “And then, when you finally placed them in the cannon, which is in the Queen of Hearts’ castle, it will transport you back to your world. This will also be the payment you mentioned earlier. So, good luck, samurai-san.” After the cat gave instructions, it swiftly left and leapt from one tree to another.
When the cat left, Gintoki continued searching for a shelter. He was already at his limit when he heard someone shouted behind him.
“Oh! It’s an old man!”
Thinking he was always mistaken as one before, he replied, facing the owner of the voice. “Who are you calling old ma—Shinpachi?!”
Yes, he was taken by surprise again. Before him were two dwarves and a big, white dog with a dwarf hat. These dwarves looked like the members of his Yorozuya family.
“You idiot! That’s not an old man. He’s Snow White! That blue and yellow garments combo and that red ribbon, there’s no mistaking it, he’s Snow White!” the vermilion red colored hair dwarf argued with the dwarf who was wearing a pair of eyeglasses.
The two dwarves kept on arguing that Gintoki went and stopped their argument. He asked them if he can stay for the night and if they happened to notice any silver balls. They agreed on the shelter, but they haven’t seen any silver balls. Gintoki was able to rest for a while but still his stomach was grumbling. The dwarves said they do not have any food left as the vermilion red-haired dwarf ate all their supply that they need to acquire more the next day.
Gintoki then decided to look for food outside. He grabbed some torch and went out. On the doorstep, he saw an apple. It was a purple colored one, but since he thought he was in a different world, the color wouldn’t matter. He was about to pick it up when someone else grabbed it before him. A dark purple haired man, dressed in a blue vest with a long white sleeves’ shirt underneath, a patched-up moss colored pants, and ragged red cape, grabbed the apple. He was also wearing a bandage covering his forehead and left eye and was carrying a basket full of matches. One might even confuse him with little red riding hood. But it was not red riding hood that Gintoki confuses him to. It was his old friend.
Gintoki, filled with rage, started grabbing the guy by his collar. “Takasugi! What are you doing here?!”
The guy shrugged Gintoki off and told him. “I think you’re mistaking me for someone else. For your information, I am just a little match boy peddler.” The guy then brushed off the dirt from the apple and was about to bite it when he noticed some funny smell coming from it. He then gave it to Gintoki who was giggling to himself. “What’s so funny?” he asked.
“Nothing. I just remember an old friend though he looks like you, he wouldn’t admit that he was a short one. He was full of pride, you see.” Gintoki laughed out loud.
“Is that so?” Irritated by Gintoki’s laugh, the guy went on his way and was not able to see how Gintoki vomited after biting the apple he gave up earlier.
