Chapter one (she won't win this time...)
'Every fuck'n night it's the same thing!', thought the cocky samuria. And with the thought quickly picked up his pace.'They leave me at the fucking bar and grab a room without me, why the hell do they have to get their before me anyway? Probablly screw'n or soemthing...every god damn time we come into a town and have enough for a room with a futon she always gets it.HUMPH... well not this time .idon't care if I have to kick little miss princess out of it while she's still asleep it ain't gunna happen.'
"Maybe I should just take a trip down to the red light district, calm my nerves," Mugen mumbled as he passed by what he thought to be a brothal. 'At least that'll give them enough time to finish what they're do'n...'he thought as the cocky grin he sported vanished ."Yeah, that'll teach her, she hated it last time I came back after the brothel...humph, right no cash." Although he would never admit it he was secretly relieved that he had an excuse. He didn't really want to hurt her even though last time was strictly to piss her off... it hadn't had a desired effect for either of them.
Flash back
"Jin, look I know you're really depressed over shino but the best thing you can do is try to think of the future you to will have after all of this is over", the very grogy fuu stated in an attempt to comfort her body guard as they approached to now visible village. She fiddled with a flower in her hands in the darkness of the dirt road.
'Why not just marry him and get it over with, maybe then he'll stop thinking about that hooker and you'll stop trying to seduce him!' Although he would never admit it he was always rather jealous of the attention fuu payed jin. This had become increasingly apparent during the last few months of their journey. Mugen distanced himself as far away as he could from his 'friends' in hopes that he could detatch from the bond he was forming. A bond he knew would only end badly. He began to look at fuu in new eyes like he had never met her before, this beautiful women that blossomed before his eyes. And even though he still showered her with insults on an ever day basis it seemed that they were fewer and farther between and , dare I say, half hearted. Even now in the obis of darkened sky he could make out the caring creature playing with something in her hands. ' I wonder if she even thinks of me...I mean other then a cocky basturd Well I guess it's for the best even if I wish I could be different. It could be different.' Mugen took fewer visits to the brothels in town and even tried to cut down on the sake (to which he had failed vastly)
Fuu awaited for an answer from the silent samuria even though she knew she would never get one.' mad I feel so bad for taking him away from shino, form his one true love, but I'm glad he is keeping his promise. I'd go with Muegn alone but he'd probably run off the first chance he could with the biggest chested, dumbest, most drunk, skankiest 'woman' he could find! Man that prick the nerve, ok fuu calm down be for you blow.'she silently calmed her self as she tossed away the flower that lay limp and shredded in her hands. They traveled the rest of the way only exchanging glares and the occasional grunt.
After just paying for a room and beginning to get settled jin started to walk out the door as fuu's words caught him," Hey, where you going?we just got here, aren't you tired?"with this jin simple turned his face to show a full profile and just as he was about to answer"Yah Jin, (Mugen mimicking fuus' voice)why are you leaving so soon? I haven't gotten a chance to thow myself at you or anything! I mean if you still upset about shino and need alittle love , I'm sure I could fill in fo...OWWW Bitch!"for all his hard work at attempted humor Mugen received a sharp jab in the ribs that suprisingly enough didn't come from the samurai, but form the now livid girl standing next to him.
" What the fuck was that for! I was only joking around." he said with a wicked grin plaster on his face.
"Yeah well I'm sure Jin didn't appreciate it jack ass! Right Jin?...Jin?" and wth that both of them stared up to the now empty door frame. Fuu quickly ran out the door in hopes of catching jin while the slumped over mugen mumbled under his breath "that's right always running after your precious samurai"
"Jin! Hey JIN!WAIT UP!"the out of breathg irl shouted as she approached her friend."you...(breath)...never(breath)...answered my question. Where are you going?"
The silent samurai "for a walk." and turned on his heal vanishing into the dark forest.
'Great all that running for a "for a walk" ha!see if I try to reach out to a friend again!'fuu slowly made her way back into her room only to see a lay samurai laying inhis famous Mugen style with his hands behind his head with a 'idon't give two shits' attitude all over his face.
"What do you think you're doing mugen, you're nutz if you think I'm gunna sleep on the same futon as you!"'god did I really just say that, 'fuu silently punished herself for she new only bad could follow a comment like that.
" well dip shit I wasn't planning on it', said mugen with his eyes closed,"but if that's what you had in mind I'm sure I can...move over."he crept one eye open to see a response and was rewarded with a thick coat of what seemed like red paint all over fuu's face
" you, you...pig!get off the bed right now, I wouldn't sleep with you if you were the last guy on earth."even though she didn't really mean it and she only said it out of defense she couldn't help the slight stab at her heart and knew she shouldn't have said it at all.
Mugen rose from the bed and walked over to fuu with a look of pure hatred mixed with something she couldn't catch(hurt)" Oh yeah well I just wanted to see what you'd say I'd never actually go through with sleeping with such and ugly, flat plank!"
" Right Mugen why sleep with me when you can go sleep with someone doesn't even know you, I mean that's the only way they can right?" he now had his back turned to her and visibly flinched at the accusation.' man what's with him this is just our usual fighting right why is he getting s worked up? Normally he'd already be asleep right now ignoring me...like always.'" I think you're right I mean better then spending a night alone with you see ya!" and with that he was gone.
For the first time all night fuu was glad she was alone she allowed herself to cry. Then she snapped out of it she layed down on the bed and silently scolded her self.'how could you say all that! If you would just let him have the damn futon non of this would have happened and he wouldn't be banging some... no!I will not cry for him! He doesn't even know the way I feel about him. And it's a good thing he doesn't he'd probably laugh in my face and tell me he could never care for a girl so ugly and under developed as she...no that's right he can't care at all! I have to stop letting this get to me he'll never change no matter how I feel.' and with that she wept herself to sleep.
'How dare she!telling me off like that.humph like I would ever sleep with her' "In her fantasies!"he shouted to know one in particular.'no,in my fantasies...' mugen mentally slapped himself off for allowing himself to think such a thought.'fuu is, THAT BITCH is driving me crazy!i just need to get my mind off her I know what I'll do. Yeah that would really piss her off... or more likely she won't even care' the thought saddened him but he ha to do something about this. His dreams were getting really out of hand if it had't been for jin he probably would have made a move on her a long time ago.if not for jin and his pride, it was easy to pay a hooker but the attraction to fuu was more than just her body(which he really did admire despite all of his insults) but when ever she was around he he just felt... at piece.
Determined to ride this fuu thing out of his mind(laterally) he entered the brothel. Even though he got a girl who looked nothing like fuu and was somewhat willing all he could think of was the girl he had left screaming at him'no she rejected you remember, she no different form everyone else no matter how different you thought she was, she will never accept you! Just get over her, it doesn't matter how you feel. It never matters!there's no such thin as love! And with that he spent a long might in the last place he wanted to be and had to pay for it.
End flash back
Mugen had returned the next morning entering the room and noticed that jin was back' at least she was't alone'he thought then looked at the futon and noticed it was empty. Carefully not to wake the samurai mugen did a quick check of the entire room. Then headed out side. That's when he heard it the sad song the one fuu secretly always sang the nights she had nightmare's that nights she thought she wandered off far enough from the group to not be heard , but was actually being followed by mugen. He wondered if he mad her that way and loathed himself if he had. That was the day he decided that he really did love her'even if it amounts to nothing but a broken heart and a sad ending. Not like I haven't had one before, not like this will be different'
Mugen and fuu didn' talk or look at eachother for the rest of the day and considering the already quiet jin you could imagine what a fun trip that was.
' and now she's pulling the same shit agian maybe I should just go to the red light district ' then spiting himself he headed off in the direction of the hotel only to bump into the silent samurai himself.
" where's the brat, loser?" mugen asked a dull tone. Jin only glared and responded" she's in the room, I'm going for a walk." 'Ok what ever' jin left and mugen found the room about to pick a fight just so he could have a conversation with the girl' maybe 'I'll get that futon god damn it!' then he saw fuu laying at the foot of the futon curled up hugging herself for warmth on top of the covers. ' she's so cute when she's asleep, she's always cute. no! What this is just a trick focus mugen you futon her floor, or maybe on the futon with you, damn no!evil bitch she has me going crazy.' then against his better judgment her inched closer to the sleeping girl and pulled the brown bangs away from her face.'god she looks like an angel, if I knew what one looked like...yeah my angel' and then as he swept the bangs back behind her ear she gently leaned into his hand actually making him blush and freeze not wanting to be caught.' I want to keep my head a little longer' he knew then and there he had to make a choice and once he did he carefully picked her up and pulled the covers back turning her so she was now at the head of the futon put her down slowly and placed the covers over her shivering form. He regretfully released her now missing the warmth and feel of her body pressed up against his. ' I wish that things were different even just for a night, no not a night if I ever had he ri wouldn't giver her up for the world.' then as if she read his thoughts she moaned softly and smiled in her sleep moving so that she was even more cocooned under the warm blankets with her face still visible.' aww screw it know one will ever know' and with that he leaned down and placed a small kiss on her cheek as soft and silent as he could.'sleep well my angel, my love, my fuu' mugen then walked the short distance to the corner of the room and fell asleep un aware of the now shocked and delighted girl who gazed in the dark at him.
'Did that really just happen?did mugen really just kiss me?was it a dream?' eventually tired she decided it didn't mater anyway because he didn't wake her or say anything so she wnet back to sleep in her futon.
And that was how she won how she always would win.
