Chapter 10: Final Goodbye
Mugen had lifted Fuu on his back, and Jin had taken Matsu again as they stepped outside. However they were very cautious of their surroundings.
Fuu had been drained and had no energy to move on her own. They moved quietly and swiftly through the battlefield of corpses. They were almost far away from the camp then they heard a voice shout at them.
"MATSU!" they turned around to see Gonsuke and Mokichi (Tsune) behind them. Mugen, Jin, Fuu, and Matsu stopped immediately.
"How does that man know my name?" Matsu asked she had also seen the red kimono that the man was wearing who killed her mother.
"Tha-That's him…the one who…" Fuu buried her face into Mugen neck.
"That's all I gotta know." Mugen sat Fuu on the ground behind a bush.
Jin had set Matsu down with her.
"So you're the bastard who raped Fuu?" Mugen yelled back at them.
Gonsuke smiled another crooked smile.
"Aye…that be me." He smiled again. Tsune eyes were wide when she saw Jin.
"Tsune…we know its you." Said Jin, Mugen and Jin had made their way down to them.
"Who the hell is Tsune?" she hesitated to say still in her deep voice. Jin looked down and ran to her with great speed. His sword came out of its sheath and he cut off the black cloth that hid her beautiful lips.
From a far Fuu saw she was right, it was the beautiful young woman who had helped them earlier.
"Tsune… not more than 4 hours ago you told me to take care of the child. Why are you trying to kill her?" asked Jin. Tsune just pulled out her sword and ran to him. Jin blocked it, every blow she tried to make…he blocked.
Mugen was fighting Gonsuke with anger. He was trash talking to him too.
"Fuckin bastard! Think you take who ever the hell you want to? You
Piece of shit!" Mugen had slit a piece of his flesh on his arm.
"You little shit." Gonsuke tried to catch Mugen, but Mugen was small and skinny while Gonsuke was overweight and tall.
Matsu little eyes gazed upon Tsune. Matsu thought to herself I've seen her somewhere…in those clothes…she looks like my…
"You never…did…answer my question." Jin was trying to talk and dodge at the same time.
"Why the hell should…I tell you?" Tsune slid on the hard ground to stop herself from falling. She pulled of the remains of the cloth that hadn't been cut off, she showed her goddess like face. Her black hair flowed in the wind.
Suddenly Matsu remembered who she was. Jin was almost stunned by her beauty.
Mugen and Gonsuke stopped. Their sword's rings sang the through the air then died quietly.
"Mokichi? You are a woman?" said Gonsuke.
"Yes…and my name is not Mokichi its Tsune. Mokichi was my father. Matsu father."
"So you're the kid's sister?" said Mugen.
"Yes." She pointed her sword at Gonsuke… "And you, you evil bastard I tricked you into finding the young girl and her mother. I told you the woman's husband would bring you riches if you took them. However you went back on your word and killed my mother! I have kept myself from cutting your fucking head off for far to long!"
Matsu remembered her name.
"T-Tsune?" Matsu's heart almost stopped.
"Matsu? What is it?" Fuu asked. Tears rolled down Matsu's eyes.
"She-she's alive." Matsu smiled and cried.
Tsune sword rang a loud clang as it came down on Gonsuke's. Mugen and Jin watched…with their swords out ready for any slip-ups that may occur.
Tsune was face-to-face with Gonsuke their blades in between them.
"Gonsuke…I have seen you rape and kill many women…I held my tongue. Then you killed my mother…that was hard to keep in, so now for all those women and my mother…I WILL KILL YOU!" she moved her sword around his. His blade had gone into the right side of her stomach, but she managed to pierce through his armor and into his chest.
"Ahhhhh" they both cried. She pulled her sword out first then she pulled herself out of his sword. Blood had spewed from both of them like fountains.
"TSUNE!" Matsu's eyes filled with tears as her sister hit the ground.
Jin and Mugen ran to her side.
"NO! TSUNE!" Matsu's little body felt heavy as she got up to run to her sister.
Fuu pulled herself up and walked fast after her. She was still too weak to move.
Matsu's hair had fallen from its bun, as she ran she cried her name. Tears sort of flown from her eyes like a floating river, her hair blew just liked her sisters. Matsu tripped and skinned her knee but she just got back up and yelled again.
"Tsune! Please Tsune!" She fell by her sister. Tsune's eyes were closed.
She felt cold. Matsu's face had squinted like an infant's face would when it would begin to cry. She laid her small head oh Tsune's chest.
"Mugen." Fuu called out to him she had gotten half way there, when her body had gave way. Mugen ran to her call.
Black clouds formed over their heads. Rain began to fall as if the angels were crying with Matsu. The rain made the hard ground into mud. Matsu shook Tsune, but she wouldn't wake up.
"Please Tsune…your all I have left." She said under a whisper. "Please wake up!" she said louder. She buried her face in her chest again and had gotten mud on her cheek.
The rain had soaked their clothes, yet cooled them off.
"Jin…she's gone! She gone Jin!" Matsu had held on to him. A tear had fallen from Matsu's eyes again. The tear landed on Tsune's cheek.
"Mat-Matsu…" a voice came from below them, Tsune was awake and alive.
"Tsune! You're alive!" she hugged her sister.
"Good to know your still alive, warrior." Said Jin.
"It feels good to be alive, samurai." She smiled and held Matsu.
Fuu smiled and noticed that for once, she saw Mugen show a little teeth in his smile. She kissed him on the cheek…
"What was that for?" he said sarcastically.
"For being the good guy for once." She said.
The next day Tsune was bandaged and began to heal.
"Once again I would like to thank you for saving her…and Fuu I'm sorry for what I did." Tsune looked down in shame.
"Please don't worry about it." She said.
"Well see ya!" said Mugen walking away with his hand in the air.
"Bye Matsu." Fuu hugged her before she went after Mugen. Jin had stood in front of Tsune and Matsu.
"It was nice meeting you both." He turned away. Tsune caught him before he turned away and gave him a brief kiss on the lips. Jin began to blush. "It was nice meeting you too. Samurai."
Matsu was under them giggling sweetly.
Jin nodded and walked away. "Wait! Jin…" Little Matsu came running after him. She hugged him at his legs and said. "I will never forget you."
He smiled. Matsu let go and watched him walk away over the bridge.
"Uh…Fuu what are we doing?" asked Mugen.
"Before we met Matsu and the others I was trying to find the old man who last saw the sun flower samurai…I'm going to find him."
"Ugh…fine." Said Mugen.
------------------30 MINUTES LATER--------------------
"WHAT! He died!"
"Yeah, just last night. He had a heart attack…poor old Guy." Said a Man that was outside his house.
"Just my luck!" she hung her head low. "Come on guys let's go."
"Huh? Ain't that ironic?" said Mugen.
"Oh shut up." She said.
"Let's go to the next town." She said.
"Hey Fuu…" said Mugen.
"Yeah?" she responded.
"We there yet?" he asked again.
"UGH! MUGEN!"
