The Butterfly and Her Samurai
Chapter 15
-ripping the record during the ten minutes break-
Ana runs into Mugen's warm embrace and kisses him deeply while Sana just went over to the snack bar to order more food. Fuu was overexcited and ran over to Jin with open arms.
"Oh Jin, you did it!" excited Fuu smiling in his arms. "I'm so happy!"
"Yes, I know, but it's not over yet," he smiled at her.
Fuu turns to Mugen, "Are you okay?" she asked him curiously.
"Yeah, I'm fine!" he replied. "Though, I need some new shorts, got any on ya?"
"What! What kind of question is that, you big jerk!" she yelled.
"Here, take this," offered Jin. "I bought extra clothing," he said lending him extra clothes.
"Thanks!" smiled Mugen. "You know, Jin, what had happen a few weeks ago, I just want to say to both of you that I'm sorry," he said putting his hand out in front of him.
Jin's Flashback:
I don't know who the sunflower samurai is, but yes, the other person name is Mugen, who travels with Fuu and me. I don't know why you might say that we're friends because when all of this is over, we're going to fight where we left off.
Marusagi: Well, I don't know if you really mean that because once it's over, you'll probably move on and the both of you will put your differences aside. Beside, both of you will realize that you have someone to protect in the end and it will be mostly you, Samurai Jin. You should know better by now that you have grown to love what you have today and not the past.
-end of flashback-
Jin looks down at his hand and refuses to shake it, "Not yet, we have a battle to finish," he grins.
"I see, so that's how it's gonna to be, huh?" Mugen smirks while Ana strokes him up and down his chest with her hand. "You know what, you're really starting to piss me off!" he yelled.
"Please, you guys, I really don't want to see you fight one another, okay?" pleaded Fuu.
"It doesn't really matter to me because Mugie, here is going to win anyways," Ana giggles.
"Oh yeah, don't start with me again today, you filthy whore!" she yells while pushing Ana.
Ana screams as she falls to the ground, "Ah! How dare you, you bitch!" she said standing up and coming at her with arms out in front of her getting ready to choke her, but then Jin steps in between them protecting Fuu.
"Oh my!" surprised Ana looking up at Jin and then takes a big gulp.
"Miss, don't you dare lay another finger on her, understand?" he demanded looking down at her with a small frown on his face while holding back Fuu at the same time.
"Jin, just let me at her!" shouted Fuu trying to reach out at her.
"Fuu, that's enough, we must return back to the bench," he said in a husky tone.
"Hmph!" she pouted.
"Let's go, Mugie, I'll help you get dressed up," purred Ana while grabbing his arm and leading him to the dressing room.
Mugen nods and follows her.
"Hey, girls aren't allow in there!" Fuu shouted at her.
"Well, it seems that this girl does!" she giggles.
"BITCH, COME BACK HERE AND SAY THAT!" screamed Fuu out loud. "I HATE YOUR FUCKING GIGGLES, TOO, LET ME AT HER, JIN, JUST LET ME AT HER!" she shouted going out of control as Jin picks her up and carries her over his right shoulder.
The townspeople that came to see the tournament was on an ten minutes break turns and stares at them both while Fuu was still kicking and screaming.
Jin places her back down, "Fuu, calm down, you're causing a big scene," said Jin trying to calm her down.
Fuu breathing became harder and then said, "But Jin, Mugen is my friend, too, and I don't like that bitch hanging around him," she said feeling agitated with her hair in a mess in front of her face.
"You really care about him, too, don't you?" he asked her as he moves her hair over out of her face with his left hand.
"Yeah, and now I feel sorry that I've met the filthy whore!" she pouted with her arms in a tight fold.
"Fuu, don't worry about them because you still have me," smiled Jin looking into her dark brown eyes and moving closer to her. "However, in the next match, I want you always to remember that I deeply care about you, I'm looking forward of winning this for all of us to go to Nagasaki together, but not only that, I want to send some time with you that we've lost," he whispered in her right ear.
Fuu begins to blush red from head to toe when he said those words in her ear and then suddenly stands up, "Uhh, Jin! Wait minute, I don't know what you're thinking, but not here!" she laughs it off.
"Oh, here's your trinket again, please, take it this time, will ya?" she pleaded.
"Fuu, I really would like for you to have it because it looks even more beautiful on you with that butterfly kimono you're wearing that I bought you as a gift," he smiled at her.
"That's so sweet, Jin, thank you so much," she said giggling and blushing at the same time. "Hey, let's go, I'm afraid they're about to start the final match, come on!" she said grabbing his hand into hers.
-ripping the record back to the announcers bench-
Bokuto: Welcome back, everyone! I'm Kyotsu Bokuto!
Kitomi: -eating her fifth dumpling, spicy curry, and plus a total of eight rice balls all at the same time- And I'm Tusana Akitomi! Just call me Kitomi! This is really good, yummy!
Bokuto: -chuckling-You sure can put up an appetite, Kitomi! May I have a rice ball? -reaching over to get one that's placed in front of her-
Kitomi: -watching his hand moving over to her food and then bites it-
Bokuto: -screaming-Ahhhhhh, Kitomi!
Kitomi: -turning to him in a deep voice and narrowing her eyes- Get...your...own!
Bokuto: O...kay, um, be right back! Take over for me!
Kitomi: -in her normal voice and giggling- Sure, now we are back to the 2nd Opening of the Edo Tournament, folks! Yay! In the finals, we have Jin (number four) and Mugen (number thirty-one) are ready to go in order to win the grand prize money of two thousand wulongs! So, sit back and let the final battle...wait a minute, what do we have here! Oh, it's the beat-box bandits', everyone!
Bokuto: -out of breathe returning to the announcers' bench- Okay; I'm back, huh, who are they!

Bokuto: -thinking- beat-box who?

First bandit: So, let the games begin and win, win, win!
Second bandit: Sho' nuff folks and that's the end!
Together: WORD! -posing with their arms folded-
Third bandit: -rips record and ends-
-the audience stares looking at them with blank faces as the beat-box bandits turns and walks away-
"What the hell are they doing here?" wondered Mugen leaning off the wall with his new shorts on in the color of black.
"Hm, don't know," said Jin standing up looking at them.
Kitomi: Wow! Um, that was amazing, right everyone! Come on, give them a hand!
the audience cheers and applauses them for their short and unexpected entertainment
"Yay, that was great!" shouted Fuu.
-the beat-box bandits' turns back to the crowd and bow with a smile then waves goodbye-
Bokuto: Yeeeeeeah! Whoo, that was some entertainment! I love it! Okay, let the final match begin!
Jin (number four) and Mugen (number thirty-one) steps into the ring, and then the referee steps in between them.
"Okay, you know the ru-," said the referee interrupted by Mugen's angry stare looking down at him. The referee just strikes his hand down and shouts, "LET'S GET IT ON!" then quickly moves out of the way.
"Alright, let's settle this," Jin grins as he unsheathes one of his swords and now in his fighting position. "I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
"Yeah, it has been too damn long as a matter of fact, I'm going to kick your ass right here and right fucking now!" agreed Mugen unsheathing his sword.
The fight starts off with both of them running at each other with their swords, then suddenly their swords met. Jin and Mugen stares straight in one another's eyes grunting just to see who has the most willpower.
"Come on, you bastard, is that all you got!" grunts Jin.
"No way, I'm just getting started!" Mugen replied as they both jump back.
Mugen jumps in the air striking down at Jin, but misses as he landed on his feet. Jin dodges at his nothing-but-air swings and then when he got closer to him; he ducks and trips him.
"Hm, not too clever now," smiled Jin looking down at Mugen with his sword pointing at him.
"Not too clever, huh, here it goes," said Mugen grinning and then begins to do his wild spinning attack on the ground with his legs whirling like a helicopter.
However, his attack was picking up dust and small stones in which was attacking Jin randomly from all sides.
Jin steps back, "What the hell-," he thought blocking with his hand.
Then a few seconds later, Mugen got up in a daze and chuckles, "So, how was that for ya?"
"One word...stupid," amused Jin.
"Errrrrr...take this!" he shouted coming at him with his sword up in both hands.
"Let's finish this," said Jin positioning his sword in front of him.
-ripping the record to out in the audience-
"Go Jin! Go Mugen!" shouted Fuu.
Ana gasps, "Huh, don't call out my new lover's name?"
Fuu ignores her.
She clears her throat and stands up with her foot down yelling at her, "I'm talking to you, miss, don't ignore me!" then pokes at her left arm.
Fuu turns around with balled fists, "Errr...you are getting on my last nerves, come here!" she yells and then grabs a hand full of her dark hair and throws her down onto the ground.
"Ahhhh!" screamed Ana.
-the crowd was surprised and then turns their attention to the two young women fighting below-
"Get off of me!" she shouted as Fuu strangles her again while Ana summons enough strength and punches her in the face knocking her down.
Fuu rolls off of her and then begins to crawl crying out, "Jin!"
Kitomi: My goodness, folks! There's an interesting fight going on in the audience.
-ripping the record back into the ring-
Jin turns around looking out at the audience, "Fuu!" he shouted not aware of Mugen's next attack as he nearly driven the sword in his back, but stopped.
"Hey, let's finish this another time, what do you say, let's go and save the little brat before they kill one another?" Mugen sighs. "Ah, dammit, Fuu!" he thought.
"Yes, another time, Fuu is more important," he said then runs over to crowd. "I'm coming Fuu!" shouted Jin.
"But, what about Ana?" he questioned him but Jin didn't answer. "Ah, the damn brat, I better go save her, too," he said following behind him.
-ripping the record back to Fuu and Ana-
Ana quickly stands up as she stumbles a little trying to keep her balance and coughing at the same time, "Get up, you bitch, you're not so tough after all now, aren't you!" she giggles and then came up behind Fuu grabbing her ponytail with intense force pulling it making her cry out loud, "Ha, you're just all talk and no action, you bitch!" she yelled at her.
Fuu reaches her hands behind her on the grip that is on her ponytail as she stands up and then stumps down on Ana's feet with her right leg hard in her shoes. Ana lets out a big yelp as she bends over rubbing her foot, Fuu turns around a gave her a knee in the face. The crowd gasps and then, Jin and Mugen arrived in the event.
Bokuto: Should we count this as the final fight?
Kitomi: Well, hmph, why not? This is getting interesting!
Amazingly, Ana shook out of her unconsciousness, rolls over, and begins to crawl away from Fuu.
"Jin! Mugen! You're here!" excited Fuu turning around and looking at them.
"Fuu, what are you doing?" Jin asked her curiously.
"What do you mean? I'm kicking her ass, that's what!" she replied.
"Hey, Fuu, we were in a middle of a fight, why can't you two just enjoy the show," Mugen asked her.
"You big jerk, because the bitch couldn't wait and I'm just getting started!" she yelled at him. "Besides, I'm actually doing this on purpose, though she truly deserves it!" she smiled happily.
"What?" they both said confusingly.
"I did it on purpose because I don't want to see you guys get hurt, that's all, I'm sorry," she said lowly. Then, she turns around slowly and Ana gets up and runs directly at her screaming.
"Come on, you whore!" she said gesturing her with her finger to come and jumping up and down like some kind of a boxer. "Take this, you bitch! Hi-ya!" she shouted with a kick to Ana's stomach and then an uppercut with a little leg spin as Ana went flying directly at Sana who was just coming from the snack bar as her food suddenly had exploded all over the place.
"OH, SISTER! WHAT HAPPEN, SPEAK TO ME, PLEASE!" screamed Sana.
"Hello, my daughters, I knew you'll be here," said Marusagi with his hands behind his back.
Sana gasps while Ana still seeing stars, "Father!"
"Uhmm, come along now, it's time to go back home," he said turning around.
Fuu runs over to him, "Marusagi, thank you for everything!" she said to him with a nod.
"Oh, you don't have to do that, Fuu. I'm just happy that you're happy. Happiness is a good for the soul," he smiled.
"Yes, you're right, old man, thanks for your teachings," said Jin walking over to him. "I will remember them as I travel," he grins and nods his head to him as well.
"Mhmm, and thanks to all of you for bringing my daughters back to me and hopefully will me again someday if I'm around long enough, good-bye everyone," he nodded to both of them and left with a wave along with Sana who had placed her sister over her left shoulder.
Then, Fuu waves good-bye back and turns around to her two companions.
Mugen looks at Fuu with a smile, "Hmph, same old brat, you still have it," he said placing a hand on head and messing up her hair even more.
"Oh, stop it, you idiot," she giggles and then runs over to Jin.
"Well, there goes my prize," he thought looking on as the three leaves with a big sigh.
"Yay! Did you see that fight, Jin!" she said proudly. "I've just prove to you that I can be strong, too!"
"Yeah, but you should've done that, Fuu," he said sadly to her.
"But why, Jin, I don't understand," she said confusingly.
"Yes, you have grown stronger, but Fuu, I just didn't want to see you get hurt," he said embracing her tightly. "I love you, Fuu, I love you!" he whispered to her as tears fell from her eyes.
"Oh Jin, I love you, too!" cried Fuu looking up at him with happy tears.
Then Jin looks down at her and kisses her softly while the audience looks over at them and applauses as the kiss lasts for more than five seconds.
Mugen just smiles and said, "Hey, where's mine?" he asked her.
Fuu runs over to him a gives him a big hug, "Thanks for not killing him, Mugen. I just wish you guys just to move on and be friends, my friends," she said a bit teary.
"Ah, come on, you little brat, we'll see how things go," he smiled and embraced her.
"Oh, what's the matter, don't tell me you wanna go back to that whore Ana?" she said looking up at him with an angry frown.
"Nah, I don't want her! I'll miss her though, hey, let's go get something to eat because I'm starving!" yawns Mugen while rubbing his stomach.
"All right, but what about the prize money? Who won it?" Fuu wonders looking at both of them.
Kitomi and Bokuto: Congratulations, young lady!
Bokuto: You've just won two thousand wulongs!
Kitomi: Your performance was just so amazing! Great job!
Fuu with wide eyes, "Oh my goodness, but…but I didn't expect this and I didn't even sign up for this tournament or anything," she said confusedly.
-the audience applauses again and shouts-
"Wow, this is crazy!" she thought.
"Fuu, please, except it, you truly deserve it!" said Jin as he and Mugen picks her up while Fuu was cheering and waving to everyone.
Kitomi: Well done, young lady! Okay, why don't you tell everyone who you are and what is it that you're going to do with the prize money?
"Hello, everyone, my name is Fuu and my friends and I are going to Nagasaki! I want to say thanks to Jin of leading me here to find him and believing in me," she shouted to everyone.
Jin nods with that handsome smile of his looking up at her.
And thanks to Mugen for dumping that whore over there and for that I forgive him for everything that had happened back in Izumo. Even though, that you're still a big perverted jerk, I'm just glad that we're friends again; all of us!
Mugen looks up at her and nods his head as well along with grin.
"Yay, Nagasaki here we come!" Fuu screamed out loud.
-the audience continues applause her and shouts-
Kitomi: Wow! What a tournament! Today has been great; folks and I want to thank all the competitors from all over Japan for participating in this 2nd Opening of the Edo Tournament. So, here's your champion right here! This young lady here, Fuu, everyone!
Bokuto: This year's tournament was full of surprises, oh yeah, way better than last year, don't you think?
