SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 10 out, this is Chapter 11 of this fic. (Sighs) Come on, guys and girls; is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this on your favorited list?
Disclaimers: I own neither Sailor Moon nor Samurai Champloo. But I do own the pairing, I hope.
Chapter 11: The Return of The Ronin
A shift in the noren of the Daigoro's teahouse alerted the two servers of a customer.
"Good afternoon, welcome to…" Yukina started and stopped short when Jin came into view.
"Tadaima." Jin smiled at the stunned waitress.
"Okaeri nasai." Yukina managed to compose herself to return an answer.
"So you accepted Sōsuke-dono's proposal." Yukina remarked, Jin having informed her about his decision to accept Sōsuke's offer to hire him as his personal bodyguard, the reunited couple were walking back to Yukina's rented abode.
"I suppose Kariya Kagetoki was right about one thing," Jin admitted. "As samurai, we're born in the wrong era; the samurai loyalty system is dying out."
"You fought him." Yukina concluded.
"I never could keep anything from you, can I?" the ronin sighed. "We might want to stop for a while." He pulled his companion underneath a tree. "It's a long explanation."
"Guess that explains a whole lot." Yukina remarked, after Jin launched into his version of the story. "I just knew you couldn't have murdered Mariya-dono in cold blood without a valid reason. I always believed in you."
"Yukina…" Jin breathed, stroking her cheek in muted awe. "It's times like these; I wonder what I ever did to deserve you."
"You're just being you." Yukina smiled, leaning her head on his shoulder. "What…" she blinked, Jin suddenly pulling her to him and capturing her lips into a soft kiss. She sucked in a gasp and moaned when the taller samurai loosened her collar and sucked her bared shoulder.
"Good evening, Kaede-san." A flushed Yukina greeted the middle-aged landlady, a highly amused Jin following closely behind.
"Tadaima, Yukina-chan." Kaede returned the greeting. "I see your samurai came back." She teased, grinning widely as Yukina's blush deepened.
After a silent dinner of shōyu ramen, Yukina almost shrieked when Jin picked her up and carried her over to the futon on the floor.
Climbing over her, Jin planted kisses on her exposed skin, both hands delicately undressing the female underneath, as Yukina welcomed him with open arms.
That night, Kamiko's most dedicated maiko became a woman.
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
