SaliorStar9: Well, another new fic coming from me after watching Samurai Champloo because I just can't be the only one who thinks Jin and Ami make a great couple. Right? *Crickets chirp in the background. Sighs.*So, anyway, please be a dear and review.
Summary: Who said the current day Senshi were their only reincarnations? Sailor Mercury gets reborn in the Edo period of Ancient Japan as Yukina, a bonded child to a geisha house which was situated opposite Mariya Enshiro's dojo.
Disclaimers: I do not own the animes. But I do own the pairing, I hope.
Prologue
What is he doing here? Yukina, who had been taken alongside with Osuzu, wondered in shock when Jin and Sousuke burst into the brothel.
"Osuzu-nee-chan," Sousuke opened the cage and held out his hand as both Jin and Mugen fought outside. "Let's get out of here!"
"I…" Osuzu sighed. "I'm sorry."
At the corner of his eye, Jin recognized the young maiko that had been promised to him before he went ronin. Finding themselves surrounded, Jin released the smoke bombs and fled with Sousuke.
"Yukina." Jin started, meeting up with the maiko late in the night after the whole Rikiei affair had ended.
"Do you remember," Yukina let a firefly land on her finger. "By the river during the Winter Solstice Festive. Okaa-san… she didn't know when my birthday was, so she delegated it on the date of the Winter Solstice. I won't ask too much." She turned to the bespectacled ronin and tucked a strand of stray hair back. "Because I knew you had a reason."
"Then the mizuage…" Jin trailed.
"I never went through with it." Yukina replied. "Okaa-san knew the reason and kicked me out of the okiya; that's how I landed up here."
"I'm sorry. I had every intention of being the one to claim you." Jin pulled her into a hug. "I became ronin after killing shisho, and because of that, you suffered."
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
