This was originally going to be a one shot, but I got some requests to continue it, so I jumping on the post series band wagon…
Five years later, in Nagasaki
Don't panic Fuu, if you learned anything from that journey, it's that there's a way out of every jam. Just stay cool and think. I am so screwed. Hah, those two could have bailed me out, what I would give to have them here, no, screw Jin, I need Mugen. She pressed her back against the wall, using a red wooden pillar as cover. She hastily slipped out of her sandals and loosened her threadbare, slightly blood-spattered kimono, enabling her to run. Okay, what would Mugen do?
"Block all the exits so the murderer cannot escape. That way! Over there!" The shouts came from the other end of the teahouse. There is no way I am just running out the front door. She ran in the first door she found, where she saw a lone, elegant lady, dressed in a kimono of deep purple silk with images of white cranes. She's probably a geisha. The lady turned to Fuu.
"Are you the one who is going to play tonight?" the lady asked, confused.
"Yes." Fuu lied meekly, as she walked to the window and casually looked down at the court yard, two stories below. She couldn't jump that far. She turned her back to the lady, reached into her kimono and carefully pulled out Momo. She placed her pet on her palm, and Momo squeaked as she reached her hand out the window, and gently shook it, forcing Momo to fly in order to keep from falling. Sorry Momo, just because I'm probably going down doesn't mean you have to go down with me. Fly, we'll meet again if I get out of this. Fuu held back her tears as she walked over to the lady and tried to gracefully kneel beside her.
The lady looked at Fuu. "Did you bring your shamisen?"
"Um, I'll go get it in a minute."
"What are you wearing?" the lady asked, condescendingly.
"Oh this, um, this is my lucky kimono, its kind of worn out because I wear it so much." Fuu continued, not sure how much longer she could keep this up.
"What happened to your hair?"
Okay, that's enough girl talk. "Have you ever saved someone's life?" Fuu asked, her patience having run out. C'mon, just pretend your Mugen.
"What? Um, no I - ." Before the lady could finish, Fuu was already behind her, holding her tanto to the lady's neck. What would Mugen say?
"Listen bitch! Guys don't like to kill broads 'cause its bad form, but I am a broad so I don't give a shit! I already killed someone today and you may be next!" What do I say next? I can only imagine threats and cursing from Mugen. Okay, what would Jin say?
"Do exactly as I say and your chances for survival will increase substantially," Fuu whispered forcefully.
The lady gave a terrified whimper, indicating that she understood.
Okay you two, what do I do next?
