One Shot 1: Heartless

This wasn't right.

"Jin, how much longer 'till we get there?"

They should have split up.

"Hn… probably another hour."

They were supposed to go their separate ways.

"Really?! Another hour of walking?! Ugh, my feet are killing me!"

So why were they still traveling together?

"Man I need to get laid!"

Both Jin and Fuu turned to glare at a frowning Mugen. He'd been lagging behind them for the past half-hour, scratching the lean stomach beneath his shirt. The little outburst of his was nothing new to the two traveling in front. They heard the same thing five minutes ago.

"Is that all you care about?" Fuu asked, walking backwards and folding her arms. She had done a pretty good job of ignoring Mugen for most of the day, but she honestly didn't know how much more she could take.

"Like you can talk!" Mugen spat, stretching his arms until his shoulders popped and placing them behind his head. "I'm not the only one who's been complaining. All you do is whine about those ugly feet of yours!"

Fuu huffed. "It's better than whining about getting laid!"

Mugen smirked, something that almost always meant trouble. "Of course you don't whine about that! You couldn't get laid even if you tried!"

The look on Fuu's face could wipe out the entire Yakuza.

"Please stop," Jin thought to himself, quickening his steps slightly in hopes of getting away from the pair.

"Just shut up Mugen!" Fuu yelled hotly. "Every girl you've slept with only did it because they were paid! Like someone could ever sleep with you for free!"

Mugen's smirk only grew. "You think you know everything about me after only one year? You got another thing coming girly!"

"Well it's not like you willingly tell Jin or I anything!"

"Please leave me out of this," Jin pleaded silently.

"Sorry but I don't have any stories about flowery samurai or going on some crazy ass Journey after killing my master! What you've learned about me so far is all you need to know!" Mugen's smirk was no longer there. He stared daggers at Fuu as she continued to walk backwards, grimacing at him.

"So now you're bringing up Jin's master?! How inconsiderate of you!"

"What are you, his mother?! He doesn't need your loud-mouth speaking for him!"

Enough.

"I don't have a loud mouth you hairy, obnoxious baboon!"

"What'd you call me bitch?!"

"You heard me!" Fuu shouted, balling her tiny hands at her side. "I said you're a HAIRY. OBNOXIOUS. BABOON!"

"Really?! Won't have anything else to say when I-"

"I need time to think."

The sudden sound of Jin's voice caused Fuu to slip in her sandals. Mugen's mouth slowly closed and the previously arguing pair both looked towards their four-eyed companion.

"What was that Jin?" Fuu asked nicely. She wobbled to a stand and brushed off the back of her Kimono.

"We'll meet up at the town, but I cant continue traveling with you two."

Both Mugen and Fuu turned to give each other a confused look. What the hell was Jin talking about?

"Goodbye."

Then, in the blink of an eye, Jin was dashing off ahead and turning unto a different path before the pirate or the samurai's daughter could say another word.

"It's your fault."

Mugen looked to Fuu with a raised eyebrow.

"You're the reason why Jin left," Fuu announced. "You hurt his feelings."

As much as Mugen wanted to continue telling off Fuu he couldn't help laughing mockingly at what she just said. The girl seriously was a naïve idiot. Did she really think every guy was a soft mushy dumpling on the inside?

"What are you laughing at?!" Fuu demanded, placing her hands on her petite hips.

"Your stupidity!" Mugen hollered. "A guy like four-eyes doesn't get his feelings hurt!"

Fuu's face reddened. "How would you know?! What do you know about feelings?!"

Mugen's laughter died down.

"You're nothing but a heartless pirate! You're reckless and stupid! You don't care about anyone but your-"

Fuu gasped. Mugen had suddenly grabbed her arm and roughly dragged her body towards him. The grip he had on her would definitely leave a bruise.

"Mugen what are you-"

"Shut up for a sec!"

Fuu reluctantly quieted as the Ryukyu pirate firmly pressed her hand against his chest. She could feel the slight raise of a scar and the strong bones beneath his skin, but Fuu had no idea why Mugen was doing this.

"What are we doing exactly?" she asked, looking up into Mugen's dark orbs.

"Can't you feel it?" he huffed, his hold on her arm tightening.

"Ow you're hurting me Mugen! All I feel is your shirt, flesh and bone!"

Mugen was starting to get frustrated, and the expression on his face surprised Fuu.

"Behind all that shit! What do you feel?!"

Then she knew.

Fuu knew exactly what Mugen was trying to get her to feel. She looked away from his intense gaze and felt a sudden wave of guilt crash over her. How could she be so cruel?

"A heartbeat," she whispered, gazing at the trees that lined the road. "I feel a heartbeat."

"Exactly." Mugen dropped Fuu's bruised arm and started walking again. He didn't have to turn around to see if she was following him. No matter how many fights they got into, the dumb broad just couldn't stay away.

"I'm sorry," she whispered.

"Whatever," Mugen muttered, scratching his scraggly chin.

Fuu clutched her sore arm and smiled. "We were supposed to go our separate ways."

"You're telling me?"

"I'm sorry for that too."

"…"

"Mugen."

The wild-haired pirate stopped and waited for Fuu's footsteps to halt beside him. He looked over to the arm she was holding and the big handprint bruise that wrapped around it.

He frowned.

"Are you still mad at me?" Fuu asked, her voice soft. It was kind of weird for him to hear her voice that soft. She was always loud and annoying when addressing him.

Mugen smirked and started walking again.

"Nah I aint pissed. But if you start spewing crap like that again remember where that bruise came from."

A sad smile lifted unto Fuu's face as she watched Mugen's lone figure stroll down the road ahead of her.

"I will."

If you liked this it would be awesome of you to leave a review. You can also follow this if you're looking forward to more Mugen and Fuu one shots. They'll be posted whenever I get the inspiration or free moment.

"Peace out!" Fuu cheered, trying to strike a gangster pose.

"What the hell are you doing?" Mugen demanded.

"Striking a pose," Fuu drawled.

"Quit it. You look like a dumbass."

"Why you-!"
