Samurai Champloo
Chapter 3
All four headed into the basement. Melinda flicked on the lights. The chest she had left on the dusty table had remained the same spot she left it. She then opens te lock. She takes out a worn map. You could still see I though.
The treasure was out of Japan. Instead it led into the Caribbean islands.
"Yes! Back to the Caribbean of Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Bahamas, Guyana, Puerto Rico." Melinda had a happy expression on her face.
"Wait a minute how are we going to reach?" asked Jin.
"We have boats."
"Buts it's going to take day's."
"We have motor boats."
"Huh?"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
(Back Up!)
Motor boats weren't invented in the Edo period. Around 1970 that's when they were created.
(Back to the story.)

"Come on guy's I'll show you."
They stepped outside. There was a beautiful boat. It was white with Hawaiian prints on it.
"It will take us only a day."
"Wow! So where did these boats come from?"
"Sad to say but, from America."
"Wha! Those cheaters. I remember they tried to cheat us in baseball."
"I know, but you have to understand, it's not all. Just as theirs slavery against black people like me. There getting treated unfair. Not to mention where like animals in the south, If we get killed it doesn't matter. Right now a strong woman Harriet Tubman is sneaking the slaves into the underground railroad to freedom to the north.
The north doesn't accept slavery, but the south is for it. Well….. let's pck our things into the boat."
She headed back in the house.
"Wow I never knew.
Fuu said.
"Yea, that's quite harsh."
"Yea tell me bout it."
Melinda then came out with 2 bags. One was filled of cloths and money, the other was filled of food.
Mugen was getting ready to grab the bag of food when he felt Fuu dragging him by the ear.
"Fuck you Fuu! You dumb broad!"
Jin then looking at Melinda, he notices how sad she looks.
" Are you okay?"
"Um yea, so you guys ready to start this thing or what?"
"Hell yea babe!" screamed Mugen running into the boat.
It's 9:oo PM in the night.
"When the hell are we going to reach?" asked Mugen. " Soon enough. I think i see Jamaica. It is!"
They had to turn the boat quietly on thebeach. the moon was bright, and the stars shined like mini christmas lights.
They finnally reached the beach. The beach was empty except for a man who was laying on the beach sand.
"Hey maybe he can help us out." Fuu marched.
They then walked to the man.
"Hey mister." Mugen spits out shaking the man. The man dosent move.
"Hello, anyone in there?" said Melinda tapping his forhead.
"I think he's dead." Jin says kicking the man in his rib.
Fuu then notices a dogtag around his neck. She then grabs it when a pair of eyes widends before her.
"What are you doing on me! Women get off me!" He shouts out with a heavy accent.
Fuu jumps back, patting her chest, with her face half pale.
"Don't scare me," still trying to atch her breath. "Like that!"
The man begins the rub his sides, and ribs.
"Jesus God! Why da hell you gwan hit me on my sides! You stupid?"
Melinda then raises an eye brow. "We thought you were dead."
"Dead do you see blood on me? I was listing to my Bob Marley Hits."
"Let's go." said mugen with his hands streached out to the sides.
"Before we go, whats your name?" asked Jin.
"I don't think i should give u my name. My name Jeffery."
"Sorry bout that Jeff!" said Mugen laughing.
"Wait a minute you guys arnet going to give me your name? Cheap bastards!" he screamed making a loud echo.
They then walked up from the beach into a highway.
Kingston High.
