Introduction: Yes, I know what you're thinking. But Samurai Shodown was made into an anime, twice (once as a TV special in 1994, and once as an OVA mini-series in 1999), so technically, Samurai Shodown (or Samurai Spirits, whichever you prefer to call it) does belong here. Anyways, on with the story!

Location: Nighttime, the middle of the forest, somewhere in feudal Japan.

Nakoruru: Ah! It feels good to take a nice, long stroll at night. It sounds so peaceful. This cool breeze is also very refreshing.

Nearby, atop one of the trees:

Gen-An Shiranui *whispering*: Here she comes!

Kibagami Genjuro: Finally! I can't wait to take her and shake her down.

Cham-Cham: Me too! I want a piece of her as well!

As Nakoruru slowly walked across the path, she came ever closer to where the trio was hiding.

Nakoruru: It's getting late. I think I'd better head on back.

Genjuro: You're not going anywhere, little lady!

Nakoruru *shocked*: Who said that?!

Genjuro: I did!

Suddenly, Gen-An, Cham-Cham, and Genjuro descended from the trees and surrounded the Ainu girl.

Nakoruru *surprised*: *GASP!* Genjuro! Gen-An! Cham-Cham! What do you three want?!

Gen-An: Isn't it obvious? We want you!

Nakoruru: Hey! Wait a second! *Points to Genjuro* I thought you always pursued Haohmaru!

Genjuro: I do; it's just that he doesn't get here until Tuesday, and I need someone to chase after before he shows up.

Cham-Cham: Enough talk! Let's kick her tree-hugging ass!

As Nakoruru's attackers moved in, she took off her scarf, whipped it around Gen-An's neck, and tossed him into a nearby tree.

Genjuro: Hmmm. Not bad, but you're still hopelessly outmatched.

As Nakoruru reached for her weapon…

Nakoruru: OH NO! My Chichiushi! It's gone!

Cham-Cham *with weapon in mouth*: Actually, it's mine now. *Runs off with Nakoruru's weapon*

Nakoruru: Hey! Come back here, you lousy cat burglar! MAMAHAHA!

Out of the night sky appeared Nakoruru's falcon, Mamahaha, who chased after Cham-Cham.

Cham-Cham: GAH! Get this crazy bird away from me!

Genjuro: Better give up while you still can, Nakoruru. You haven't got much of a chance against me without a weapon.

Nakoruru: We'll see about that! ANU MUTSUBE!

Nakoruru charged toward Genjuro at a blinding speed, encircled by a pink aura. Just when she was about to make contact with Genjuro, he grabbed hold of her arms and slammed her to the ground.

Genjuro *while pinning Nakoruru*: A word of advice: never call out the name of your attack.

Nakoruru: Thanks for the advice!

Nakoruru applied a few rapid kicks to Genjuro's stomach, forcing him to release Nakoruru. As she got back up on her feet, she witnessed a horrible sight before her.

Nakoruru: *GASP!* MAMAHAHA!

As it turned out, Cham-Cham had placed Mamahaha in a headlock, and was repeatedly punching its head.

Cham-Cham *while pummeling Mamahaha*: HA! Not so tough without the ability to fly, now, are you?

As Nakoruru watched in horror as Cham-Cham continued to pound away at Mamahaha's skull, Genjuro came up from behind her, tackled her to the ground, and grabbed hold of her legs.

Genjuro: Quickly, Gen-An! Grab her arms!

Gen-An: Got 'em!

Nakoruru *struggling to get free*: Let go of me, you cretins!

Genjuro: Oh, we'll let you go, in about a few seconds. Ready, Gen-An?

Gen-An: Ready!

Genjuro and Gen-An began swinging Nakoruru left and right.

Genjuro: One…

Gen-An: Two…

Genjuro and Gen-An: THREE!

Nakoruru was tossed through the air, where she collided into a nearby tree, landed on a rock, and fell unconscious.

Genjuro: Well, that takes care of Nature Girl.

Cham-Cham *holding an unconscious Mamahaha*: And her pet bird, too.

Gen-An: So, what do we do with her now?

Cham-Cham: I know what I want to do with her. *Licks lips in a suggestive fashion*

Cham-Cham ran up to the now-unconscious Nakoruru and began sifting through her robe, until…

Cham-Cham: AHA! I finally found what I've been looking for! Funster's Fruit Pies™! *Holds up 4 packets of Funster's Fruit Pies™*

Gen-An: Awesome!

Genjuro: Excellent work, Cham-Cham! At last, our search is at an end!

Cham-Cham *while munching on a Funster's Fruit Pie™*: MMMM! Awesome Apple! Bodacious Blueberry!

Gen-An *while munching on a Funster's Fruit Pie™*: Incredible Cherry!

Genjuro *while munching on a Funster's Fruit Pie™*: Primo Peach, too!

Cham-Cham: AH! That hit the spot!

Genjuro: Come, my fellow comrades. Let us celebrate by singing at a local karaoke bar!

Gen-An and Cham-Cham: RIGHT ON!!

As the trio left to go celebrate their victory at a nearby town, Cham-Cham left Nakoruru's weapon and falcon right beside her.

One hour later…

Rimururu: Sis! Wake up!

Nakoruru *dazed*: Uhhh… what happened?

Rimururu: You were lying unconscious in the middle of the woods. I got worried, so I went to go look for you.

Nakoruru *pats down her robe*: Oh No! My Funster's Fruit Pies™ have been stolen!

Rimururu *saddened*: *SNIFF!* Does that mean… I won't be able to taste the warm, flaky, fruit-filled goodness of a Funster's Fruit Pie™? *SOB!*

Suddenly…

Galford: Have no fear! Galford is here!

Nakoruru *surprised*: It's Galford!

Rimururu *cheering up*: And he's got a big bag full of Funster's Fruit Pies™! YAY!

Galford: I heard you lovely ladies were in trouble, so I hurried on over with as many Funster's Fruit Pies™ as I could find.

Nakoruru *while eating a Funster's Fruit Pie™*: MMMMM! Delicious!

Galford: *pulls out a Funster's Fruit Pie™* Now available in Creamalicious Custard!

Rimururu: Sweet! *Unwraps and starts eating a Creamalicious Custard-flavored Funster's Fruit Pie™* MMMM! That's good pie!

Nakoruru: Thank you, Galford!

Galford *mouth full*: Don't thank me, thank fufuuu fuu fuu!

Rimururu: Say what?

Galford *mouth full*: I said, don't thank me, thank fufuu fuu fuu… D'OH!

All Three: HAHAHAHAHA!!!

All Three: Funster's Fruit Pies™! AW YEAH!!!

Announcer: Funster's Fruit Pies™. Available at a grocery store near you.
