Chapter 12
(A/N: I hope you all liked this fic. I think that it was one of my betters. I plan to write either an Avatar: The Last Airbender or a Teen Titans fic. I haven't decided yet.)
It was the fourth day of the fourth month. Samantha Manson was wearing her Western clothes, standing by the docks, waiting for the ship that would finally return her home to England. Standing next to her was her fiancé, Fenton Daniro, a samurai who had given up his title and his people to join his beloved in her homeland. His hair, normally woven into an elaborate topknot, now hung down past his shoulders in a simple ponytail. His fashionable samurai's kimono had been replaced with a simple robe. His swords were still tucked into his belt.
"Well, my love," said Sam happily to Danny, "are you ready for our new life together?" Danny was silent for a while, but finally replied, "I've never been more ready in my life. However, one thing concerns me: What if my ways, the ways of Japan and the samurai, are unnecessary in your world?"
"Unnecessary," asked Sam incredulously, "Unnecessary? Honor, Fraternity, Courage, what could be more necessary?" Danny smiled, for the words of his bride-to-be had comforted him. Suddenly, they became aware of another walking up behind them. Turning, they saw it was Katsumoto. Shockingly, his topknot was not only gone, but his entire head and faced had been shaved, leaving only a thin moustache and a small goatee.
"Katsumoto-San," said a rather shocked Danny, "What have you done to yourself?" To this, Katsumoto laughed heartily and said, "I have decided to accompany you two to England. It just won't be the same here without Daniro."
Suddenly, a ship appeared on the horizon. Within an hour, it had sailed into the harbor. As the gangplank was dropped, an old man dressed in leather boots, a long black coat, and a captain's hat stepped off the ship and bowed to Sam.
"It's a pleasure to be seein' you again, miss Manson," said the captain in a grizzled voice with a faint Scottish brogue. Sam gave a short curtsy and replied, in her grand, almost imperial British accent, "The pleasure is mine, Captain Geoffrey." "Where be the other ship?" ask Geoffrey.
Sam's face fell, and she told him. Shaking his head he said, "It's a shame. It's a damned shame. That cousin a' yours was one of the finest sailors I ever knew." He returned to the ship and gave orders to prepare to sail immediately. Sam boarded the boat, followed by Danny and Katsumoto. Captain Geoffrey said, "Am I to assume that these two are comin' with you?" "Yes, Captain," replied Sam, "And one more thing."
Four hours later, when the sea was calm, Captain Geoffrey read from the bible. With Katsumoto standing on the sidelines, Danny and Sam gave vows to one another. Finally, with a kiss, they were married.
(A/N: I know the ending was a little anticlimactic, but I thought it would be best. I'm thinking about writing a sequel to this one sometime in the future.)
THE END.
