3 Chapter 2

"Ah welcome!" Fuu greeted a new customer that came through.

The man had a katana on his back like a sword while his eyes traveled around the entire restaurant.

Sitting down in front of another mysterious man that had already finished his food.

"Water" the man with the katana on his back said with his eyes closed.

"Water?" Fuu asked.

"Gimme some water" he asked again.

"Um we don't serve customers who just ask for water, if you didn't have any money please go to the another store" Fuu said.

The man used his finger to tell the girl to come closer once she was close enough.

"How about 50 dumplings?"

"Huh?" Fuu was confused as to why he would asked that.

"This is a barter for that I'll take care of those guys" he said meaning the people causing trouble.

"What ya say"

"...How about 20" the girl tried to lower the price.

"Don't fuck around" He said.

"That amount won't even get you a bitchslap" he said.

They continued to try to get the upper hand in the over one another not minding the man across from them who still had his head down flat on the table.

"Hey! what happened to the tea" a another customer asked.

"Hold on coming!" Fuu was going to deal with getting the amount to go down.

As she was in a hurry to get to the other person without paying proper attention to her surroundings as she slipped n the floor spilling tea and other drinks that were on here tray on the magistrate's son who had a stiff unimpressed face

Fuu's face looked like it had mixed emotions scared, joy, it was even a bit funny.

"What the fuck is wrong with you whore" he said in a annoyed tone of voice.

Suddenly two swordsmen walked up behind the girl that was still on the floor.

"S-Sorry it wasn't on purpose" Fuu said now worried.

"Your pissing me off, How're you are you going to make up for this?"

"Um" the girl didn't know what to do or say in this situation.

"Well guess I'll just chop off one or two fingers" He said grabbing the girls.

She tried to resist his grip on her with no progress in doing so as the swordsmen behind her hold her down on the table in front in the magistrate's son.

"Master please let me handle it I was just saying how j wanted to test out my new sword!" said one of the delinquents from before who also turned out to be guards for the magistrate's son as he walked to the table.

The girl was scared out of her mind everyone was around to see but no one was brave enough to even get IP and say something in fear of facing the wrath of the magistrate's son.

"H-He-Help me!" she begged hoping for someone to hear her and come save her from what was about to happen shortly.

"Don't squirm now" one of the swordsmen said while he had is blade out pointing the tip if it to her face.

"Now where should be good? the nose?, the ear? or maybe?" he said while moving the tip of the blade close palanquin.

...

"Meh, that amount of money should be plenty more than enough even" the magistrate said while looking down at the man on his knees from his palanquin.

"They say that you only need six Mon to cross the Sanzu River" Magistrate said laughing at the end.

( A/N: Mon is an old Japanese currency, The Sanzu River is a mythological river people need to cross when they die equivalent to the Styx River in Greek mythology. )

"D-Damn it all!" the man on his knees whispered while sweat started to rain down on his face even more than before.

"Hey excuse me but can you make some space, I can't get through" A voice came from the crowd of people behind the man as he saw a pare of legs covered by a kimono walked past him.

"And you are?" one of the bodyguards asked the man.

The man had a scholar appearance he wore glasses and navy blue kimono with a symbol on the back of it he also had a straw hat covering his face from the sun.

"Well who are you Do you intend to intervene?" The guards asked again.

"To obey thy master it to do hi bidding, whatever that may be is that your obligation" the man said looking down one can see a katana to his side.

"Obviously" The guard spoke.

"Even if that master was an irksome one?"

"What!, You should watch what comes out of your mouth boy!" Another guard said as all of the other two held on to their blades.

"All just to kill a innocent man...Did you hone your skills up till now just to do something like that?"

"Bastard!..."

"To tell the the truth it's stupid" he said taking off his straw hat.

"There's no point in arguing prepare to die fool!" shouted the guard as the three Yagyu swordsmen ran to than man their blades drawn ready to finish this mans life with one sword slash.

With their swords raised above their heads.

As one got close he was bringing his sword down at an amazing speed.

Letting his straw hat fly off into the sky the mysterious man looked at the blade slowly.

...

"One hundred dumplings!" Fuu shouted making the surrounding people even the magistrate's son's party look at her like she was crazy.

"That's a mighty cheap life of yours" said the man with the katana on his back.

"What are you on about the price for your shitty lives what is that about five dumplings per head?" the man that was going to cut off Fuu's fingers or something else asked the man that was walking close to him slowly.

"I think your taking us a bit lightly" said the swordsman.

As he moved from Fuu and started to circle the unknown man who did the same like wolves about to fight to be selected as the alpha of their pack.

"You really do got a pack of balls on ya, eh how about I use you to test out my sword?" said the swordsman.

"Try it" Said the man whose hand was itching to grab his katana from his back

At fast speeds they both drew their blades making swift sword swings with the winner only being identified after contact was made.
