You do want me to come with me, don't you?' Jack returned her gaze. She'd already done so much for him and asked for nothing in return. Over the past month, he'd come to rely upon her bravery, her bold spirit and, most of all, her friendship. 'Of course I do,' said Jack, smiling warmly at her.

The Elsinore's bow tilted skyward while her stern fell into a foaming valley. Not a man had gained his feet. Bridge and men swept back toward me and fetched up against the mizzen-shrouds. And then that prodigious, incredible old man appeared out of the water, on his two legs, upright, dragging with him, a man in each hand, the helpless forms of Nancy and the Faun. My heart leapt at beholding this mighty figure of a man-killer and slave-driver, it is true, but who sprang first into the teeth of danger so that his slaves might follow, and who emerged with a half-drowned slave in either hand. I knew augustness and pride as I gazed--pride that my eyes were blue, like his; that my skin was blond, like his; that my place was aft with him, and with the Samurai, in the high place of government and command. I nearly wept with the chill of pride that was akin to awe and that tingled and bristled along my spinal column and in my brain. As for the rest--the weaklings and the rejected, and the dark-pigmented things, the half-castes, the mongrel-bloods, and the dregs of long-conquered races--how could they count? My heels were iron as I gazed on them in their peril and weakness. Lord! Lord! For ten thousand generations and centuries we had stamped upon their faces and enslaved them to the toil of our will.

You told me once that being a samurai means “to serve”,’ said Jack. ‘That our duty is to our Emperor, our daimyo and our family. I didn’t understand at the time, but I now know what duty means. As samurai, we may have to kill, or be killed, if we want to protect those we serve and love.

Carrying the baskets on their heads, Jack and Annie followed Basho and the fishermen up the steps and delivered their fish to a young woman at one of the tables. Jack glanced back at the river. The samurai were standing on the landing, checking someone’s passport. Jack looked at Basho. Basho was watching the samurai, too. He turned to the fishermen. “Thank you for the ride,” he said calmly, bowing to the men. “We will walk from here.” The fishermen nodded and smiled. Good plan, Jack thought, relieved. “Come,” said Basho. He led Jack and Annie away from the market. Soon they came to a busy road crowded with pedestrians and travelers on horseback.

Why?’ asked Jack. ‘Because I chopped the man’s head off.

Wat superspannend!' zei Jess, die van vreugde in haar handen klapte. 'Ik moest altijd thuisblijven en vaders avonturenverhalen aanhoren. Nu krijg ík de kans de wereld rond te zeilen, net zoals mijn broer.' Ze keek naar Jack. 'Gaan we via de Atlantische of de Indische Oceaan? Gaan we dolfijnen zien? Walvissen? Pinguïns? Komen we langs de Specerijeneilanden? Het Gouden Paviljoen in Kyoto, misschien? Yori vertelde me dat de tempels daar met zuiver goud zijn beschilderd!

In een oorlog kún je niet kiezen,' verklaarde Jack... 'De oorlog kiest jou.

Sorry,' zei Jack, toen hij besefte dat hij Cho, een van Emi's beste vriendinnen, had gevloerd. Maar ja, ze had wel net geprobeerd zijn hoofd van zijn romp te slaan.

I'm truly sorry,' said Jack. 'But I do understand how you feel. My father was murdered too.' … 'Maybe you do know a little of how I feel,' Miyuki relented.

You should leave, samurai,' Miyuki seethed, 'before you really get hurt.' 'You've just convinced me to stay,' Jack replied, smiling amiably. 'You make a fine sparring partner.

I miss... my family,' whispered Miyuki, her voice small and choking with emotion. Jack realized, despite the tough exterior she presented, Miyuki was vulnerable inside. He recognized the lonely emptiness in her life. 'I miss my parents too,' he admitted.

The spirit of ninniku is within you.' She placed a hand over her chest. 'Jack, you have a pure heart. You didn't betray us to the daimyo. In my eyes, that makes you a true ninja.' She bowed low, this time holding it. 'Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?' she asked in a tremulous voice. … 'Of course,' said Jack. 'On condition that you'll accept my apology for breaking your water pot.' 'Yes,' she replied, a smile lighting up her face.

I just can't like samurai.' 'Akiko's different, though. 'Not like you.' - Jack and Miyuki

Your good heart will get you killed one day.' Jack prodded the dying embers of the fire with a stick, unable to meet her eye. 'And my friends.

How do I look?' Miyuki asked Jack, putting the final touches to her hair. 'Deadly,' he replied with a grin and they both laughed.

I always knew what sacrifice I might have to make for you, Jack. And I do so with all my heart. - Miyuki
