BATTLE OF EDO

Musashi was leading the way with Tomoe and Fukushima close behind. Fukushima was carrying the precious book. One more hill to climb over and they would be at Edo fortress. Musashi looked around at the green grass and the serenity of what surrounded him. He missed being a wanderer.
They got to the top of the hill and saw the chaos of colour down below. Reds, blues and blacks. Musashi watched for ten seconds, and saw the crimson red and the jet black teaming against the navy blue. He knew the blue was Ieyasu's colour and the red and black were colours of two very famous daimyo.
"Treachery has fallen upon our Lord Tokugawa, I am an outlaw, but my heart still holds a blue banner." and he turned to grin at Fukushima, then winked at Tomoe. "Let's go Fukushima san."
Fukushima dropped the book onto the ground and charged along side of Musashi into the blaze of colours. Tomoe drowned out the sounds of the warcries and the shouting and all the sounds of death. She picked up the book and once again it opened by itself to a page. As she looked down she saw the word Yakuotoshi and without thinking and having total trust in the book she screamed out the word.
She appeared before the Ieyasu Tokugawa at his throne. Togo was at his side, as promised and the Shogun saw the book in her hands. "How dare you bring that book back to my castle."
"Wait my lord, if this book is a fake how did I get here. Right now Musashi san and Fukushima san are fighting in your name. You don't have many people defending you, and here you have two men you have outlawed, risking their lives for you. Don't make another hot headed decision... sir."
