2 Chapter 1

"The vagabond, Mugen"

"The vagrant swordsman, Jin"

"And the mercenary maou"

"You are hereby sentenced to death by decapitation!"

"How do you like that are you more remorseful?" a fat man asked the three men who were tied up so that they had little chance of escape.

"Do you feel like begging for your lives, like dogs, now?" he asked.

"If I had to live each day knowing you bastards were in charge, I RATHER STRETCH AS FAR AS I CAN AND DIE!" Mugen said with a smile looking up at the man.

The man from before and the others beside him started to laugh at Mugen until jin spoke.

"That sounds good coming from a fool like you I concur" Jin said.

"That's fine by me" the fat man said.

"Then as you wish, I'll send you to the other side now!" He said turning to Maou.

"Any last words boy" He asked him.

"...No I don't have any prepared maybe in a few more years" Maou said while looking straight into the eyes of the fat man.

"oh well then there goes your chance NOW!" as he said that the men around him started to draw their katana.

Then they swung it down to separate the heads of the trio.

.....One day earlier.....

"Hey! Are the dumplings ready yet?"

"Yes, sir, right away" said a young girl carrying a tray of steaming hot cups of tea she hurriedly went to a table in the small establishment.

"Hey miss, let's take a break" A man said while laughing sitting next to him was a very uncomfortable women on the opposite side of him the same thing was happening to another young female with the same look as the one across from her as another mab was getting to close to her.

"Now don't make such a repulsive face" the second man said getting into the other first face as he sat next to her with his hand slowly wandering close to her lower half.

"M-My..." one of the girls said while moving away from the man stopping her slightly.

"Sorry to keep you waiting" a few tables down the same girl from before had arrived at her table and placed down the drinks for the customers.

"Your slow, are you an idiot" one of the customers said to her while she had a angry and annoyed look on her face while struggling to hold a rude remark back.

"P-Please forgive me for that sir and I hope the drinks are to your liking!" she said walking away from them.

"Where the hell are my dumplings!?"

"Yes! coming with them soon" said the girl moving to another table placing a cup of water and a plate of chicken and rice in front of a man that had a straw hat covering his eyes while he had his head down.

A few tables from his was a blonde man his arms wrapped around to girls shoulders that were clinging to him while he had wine bottles in front of him and on the opposite of the table his wine was placed on a man with his head rested sat.

"Damn!, This is boring" the blonde man said.

"You can say that again" the man across him said.

"Isn't there anything that's like, interesting to do" The blonde man asked.

In the kitchen of the establishment the girl came through the entrance with a angry look.

"Sheesh, what's up with the customers today?"

"Now, now Fuu patients, patients" a old man said to the girls while fanning himself.

"But..."

"The blonde one is the magistrate's son" a woman said while washing the dishes.

Back with the customers at a table were two men sat one was holding a katana and fooling with it.

"This is new one, eh?" the one holding the word said.

"That's sweet!" the one beside him said.

"I like wanna try it out on someone" he said still fooling with the sword.

Not to far from the two was a old man by himself sitting at a table with only a cup of water on his table.

"What the hell are you looking at old man?" the boy said while pointing his katana at the old man.

The old man turned his head away from them trying to stay away from any trouble knowing well that that is a fight with only one victor.

"Hey old dog I'm talking to you!" the delinquent said katana still in hand and a annoyed look on his face.

Using his sword he poked the old mans drink making it fall over falling to the floor.

"ow! it burns" it appears that the water was tea hot at that.

As the old man wailed about how hot the tea was all over him the delinquents laughed at his suffering.

"Right on!"

As the the other people present began to see what was going on the all started laughing at the old man that just tried to sit in peace.

Fuu was having enough of the mans suffering and was about to grab the delinquents and do something stupid the man and woman from the back pulled her away.

...

"I'm begging you..." A man begged on his knees as bowed to the person inside a palanquin while the men guarding it were at the ready in case of any sneak attack but they were at ease a bit as it was only a weak looking man.

"If you close down the next construction site, my family and I will have to commit suicide! please I beg you!" he begging while a small about of tears fell from his eyes.

The man in the palanquin opened his palm while it faced the begging man.

Seeing the hand the man got up from the ground walking forward to it to the man that was inside that was smoking.

The man placed some coins in the hand of the very important person.

"What the hell is this?"

"W-Well it's-"

"This shit isn't money!" he said throwing it at the man that was one his knees once again.

"MEN! BEAT THIS OLD FOOL FOR WASTING MY TIME AND PATIENTS!!!"

The men guarding the man that is most likely the magistrate.

Surrounding the man were the famous Yagyu swordsmen here in Edo ready to give the poor family man a beating of a lifetime.
