Drabble 1: Fuu's First visit from Uncle T.O.M.
A high-pitched, terrified scream echoes throughout the forest and two men of directly contrasting natures run together toward the reverberating sound. Though they will never admit it aloud, they both desperately pray at the same exact moment that nothing happens to that "damn bitch" as Mugen likes to call her and then with a glance simultaneously agree to never speak of how their hearts pounded after sprinting the damned fastest they've ever ran.
But when they reach campsite and both realize that Fuu has not been physically injured in any way, any alliances made in those few precious seconds are immediately cut off and Mugen rolls his eyes and curses then walks away while Jin is left to deal with the shaking pale girl. Jin waits for an explanation patiently but the words softly uttered are certainly not what he expects from the normally docile Fuu.
"I'm dying."
"…Pardon?"
"I'm dying, Jin," Fuu repeats seriously, eyes filled with tears.
A furrowed brow. "I am afraid I still do not understand. How exactly…?" Jin trails off.
"From the inside. I know it. I caught some kind of horrible disease from that unsanitary beast Mugen and now I'm dying. Or there's a stomach-clenching monster buried my belly that is going to squeeze out all my blood and I'll slowly drain away or maybe I'm paying for some kind of terrible misdeed that I've done—I swear if I live through this I'll be a better person— and now I'm gonna slowly bleed to death—owwww, it's on the attack again, Jin, help me kill it—
Whatever color Jin had gained from his sprint immediately leaves his face as his attention is brought to the blood dripping down Fuu's legs. Now in hysterics, Fuu shrieks with fear and sobs, curling up into a ball on the now red forest floor while the silent samurai groans and resists the strong urge to gag, all the while wondering why he has to be the one to give Fuu the talk on life.

Haha. The idea just came to me in the middle of the night, and I needed to type it out before I lost it. Hope you liked it!
Go on. Leave a review. Make me feel awesome ;) Or flame if you want. I'm pretty chill.
Expect some more drabbles, some much more serious than this. And please excuse any grammatical errors, I don't have a beta but would gladly accept any criticism or even offers for a beta-reader.
