Nightshift 39: Pantry 1
[from here]
Roaches and rats were everywhere she pointed her flashlight at and they moved towards the darkness as soon as the light hit them. Normally Kagura would complain, even scream about the cockroaches despite living in an environment that was teeming with them, but now didn't seem like the most appropriate time to do so.
She browsed around for some sukonbu, which loosely meant that she was going from shelf to shelf and tossing away everything and anything that wasn't the said preserve. She frowned, realizing that most of the food here were Western and Western food was shit. (Or so she'd like to think. She'd eat anything anyway, she's just more used to Japanese food.) She did find a lot of things she liked though: fruit preserves (which were like sukonbu but not quite), beef jerky (also like sukonbu but not quite), cookies, crackers and fruit.
She also found boxes of mayonnaise which she knew that man from the Shinsengumi would die for. And she found large sacks of sugar that she was sure Gintoki would fight tooth and nail for, and it wouldn't even last them a week. She wondered what food Gintoki's "friend" ate in his boat...
That gnawing pain in the pit of her stomach wasn't just hunger and pain anymore.
She grabbed all the food she could in her arms and ran out of the pantry, cursing her guilty conscience.
