And so, having exhausted their supply of trick-or-treat candy, and still needing to fix the fox-tail curse set upon them by Snape, our two homeless intrepid heroes set out on a journey.

Mugen: ...Nah. See, you're talkin' about hotwiring. When you stick your thumb out, that's called hitchhiking. I saw it on t.v..

Jin: What is t.v.?

Mugen: Well it's this mind-controlling box that has nude chicks--

Jin: Wait a minute.

Mugen: <.<; Er, I only watched for a minute, I swear--

Jin: No. *Walks off to one side*

Jin: Excuse me, sir. Where did you get those sais?

Gimp Ninja: These what?

Jin: ...Those weapons in your hand. Where did you get them?

Gimp Ninja: Oh! Costume shop, man. I'm headed to Halloween town--big party tonight. I see you guys are dressed up, too. I'm a gimp ninja. Cool, huh?

Jin: ...Hmm.

Mugen: I think you look like an idi--

Jin: *smacks Mugen*

Gimp Ninja: So. You guys want a lift, or anything? We can split the gas.

Jin: *has no idea what he's talking about* Sure.

As it turns out, "splitting gas" requires money. When he discovers they have none, the Gimp Ninja drops them off at the edge of town.

Mugen: How was I supposed to know it wasn't -that- kind of gas?

Jin: *fixes him with a hard look*

As luck would have it, there's a Halloween party in full swing nearby. Mugen makes himself at home.

(He seems to have been taking notes from Batou.)

Jin demonstrates the Samurai Dance. The others show off their moves...

The Pirate Dance...

The Nasty Old Lady dance...

The, uh... MuJin Dance, apparently. No one seems to notice, or else they all politely pretend not to see.

Jin continues dancing. He's actually having fun. Mugen quickly gets distracted by, um, tail.

He wanders away from Jin.

Mugen: Hey, baby. What's your Sign?

Angel Stranj: Virgo.

Mugen: Mine's Fox.

Angel Stranj: Umm, I don't think that's a Zodiac sign.

Mugen: It's not? *blank look*

Mugen continues flirting, but it doesn't miss Jin's notice.

Mugen: So, yeah, you look kinda familiar--

Jin: *ahem*

Mugen: Oh. Um. I was just, um... asking him about his tail. Since he has one. Like... us. Yeah.

Jin: Were you asking him how to get -rid- of the tail? Or just how to get it?

Mugen: ...Um.

Mrs. Crumplebottom informs Mugen that flirting and public displays of affection are not proper deportment in Halloweentown.

Mugen wants to know what deportment is, and why he's being whacked by a dusty handbag.

Jin: There there, Mugen. You mustn't kill her.

Mugen: Awww but it's not fair!

Jin: I know. *pat pat pat* Let's go get something to eat. *adds in an undertone: Far away from the other dancers...

Jin: Now, now, Mugen. You know you mustn't kill old ladies... no matter how lethal their handbags. You don't want to go to jail, do you?

Mugen: *sweatdrop*

They leave the party and settle on some benches.

Jin: Marvelous, it's daytime. We partied all night!

Mugen: Eh, that's okay. The others said that's a good way to avoid the vampires.

Jin: What?

Mugen: Vampires. Anyway, you wanna cuddle in the grass or something?

Jin: *hard look* No. You're fine right there on your separate bench.

When Jin wakes, he is alone. He wanders back inside--where the party is still going--and finds Mugen hiding off by himself in one corner.

Mugen: *Seeing Jin enter* You're pissed at me, huh.

Jin: I wouldn't say "pissed." I'd rather not see you flirt with other men, though.

Mugen: What about women?

Jin: *frowns and pushes up his glasses*

Mugen: *sigh* That's what I thought. Look, I'll make it up to ya.

Jin: You can make it up to me by being faithful.

Mugen: *blank look*

When they go back out, there's a woman sitting on one of their benches. She introduces herself as a sorceress. Jin asks whether she has any cures for fox-tail-ness. She gives him an odd look, and asks why he would want to cure such a cute "curse."

Sensing troublesome territory, Mugen quickly changes the subject.

Mugen: What about weapons and stuff? Where can we get those?

She directs them to a costume shop across town.

Jin and Mugen wander through the city to the costume shop. Mugen is fascinated by the tremendous, crystal-walled buildings.

They reach the costume shop, and Jin finds immediately what he wants.

Jin: Go get someone who works here. I want two of these katanas. Ask them what it costs.

Mugen is stunned when he finds out what the weapons cost. A woman overhears him arguing with the salesperson, and comes over.

Lady: You need money, sweetie?

Mugen: *suspiciously* Yeah.

Lady: Is that your boyfriend over there?

Mugen: *looks over at Jin* Well... I guess?

Lady: Make you a deal, cutie. I have a set close to here. If you take your boy over there and make out for the camera, I'll buy your toys for you. Deal?

Mugen: Make out for what, huh?

Lady: ...Just go make out. There will be people watching, but hidden. Okay?

Mugen: Hidden, huh? Good, 'cause if he sees you, he won't go along with it.

While they are checking out, Mugen leans over to Jin and whispers in his ear.

Mugen: Let's make up, okay? *kisses him deeply*

Jin: *stunned* ...Very well.

(Check out the clerk's and the pirate's expression, LOL!)

Mugen takes Jin to the private room set up by the lady. He strips slowly, taking his time while Jin watches. The excitement is obvious on the samurai's face ... and elsewhere. Mugen steps close, parting his lips a little for a tender kiss.

Mugen can barely restrain himself while Jin strips. He leaps at his companion, fastening his mouth on Jin's lips and his arms around Jin's body. Taken aback, Jin offers little resistance.

Mugen drags Jin onto the bed. He is trembling with excitement. Jin displays himself beautifully, showing off for his companion. Mugen admires him before pulling him close.

Jin slides up against his body, entwining their fingers together. He moves slowly, sensuously.

Finally Mugen can restrain himself no longer. He eases Jin down against the bed and slides on top, kissing and stroking.

Their trembling bodies rub together. Mugen's weight bears Jin down as his mouth locks with the samurai's.

Afterward, Mugen seems quite satisfied with himself!
