Epilogue
Mugen and Fuu made it back to Nagasaki leaving a trail of red-faced and angry inn keepers along the way. They'd skip out in the middle of the night so they didn't have to pay for their stay.
Once they arrived in Nagasaki Fuu found a job as a helper in a shop and Mugen continued to be Mugen. He would be lazy and eat. While he picked his teeth Fuu would recount the tales of how she ran herself ragged at her new job. He would go out and do what Mugen did second best and earn some money. The best thing he did was get in trouble, yet it was not as profitable.
Shiroko and Jin lived quite happily on their property and lived simple and modest lives away from the prying eyes of the town. They were a striking couple and all eyes would follow them whenever they entered town. They were the mysterious samurai and his beautiful, albeit well fed, wife.
Mugen, Jin, Fuu, and Shiroko's paths would again cross one day. It was fate.
A/N There we go. Epilogue by request. I wanted to leave it open for a sequel if anyone requested one. I usually write epilogues, but this time I thought the story was well resolved and didn't really require one. But my wonderful and faithful reviewer WindoX wanted one. I grant the thy wish.
